%N that the continued fraction for sqrt(k) has even period and if the last term of the periodic part is deleted the central term is 41.

%C The "central term" is the term with an index equal to one-half of the length of the continued fraction's period. For example, the "central term" of (1,2,3,4) is 2. - _Harvey P. Dale_, Nov 10 2017
