MATHEMATICA
a = 1; b = 1; c = 1; u = 0; v = 1; w = 3; d = 2;
r[x_] := a/(x + u) + b/(x + v) + c/(x + w);
t = Re[x /. ComplexExpand[Solve[r[x] == d, x]]]
N[t, 20]
u = N[t, 200];
u1 = RealDigits[u[[1]]] (* A316166, greatest *)
u2 = RealDigits[u[[2]]] (* A316164, least *)
u3 = RealDigits[u[[3]]] (* A316165, middle *)
