%N Greedy frac multiples of sqrt(2): a(1)=1, Sum_{n>=0} frac(a(n)*x)=1 at x=sqrt(2).

%C The n-th greedy frac multiple of x is the smallest integer that does not cause Sum_{k=1..n} frac(a(k)*x) to exceed unity; an infinite number of terms appear as the denominators of the convergents to the continued fraction of x.

%e a(4) = 10 since frac(1x) + frac(3x) + frac(5x) + frac(10x) < 1, while frac(1x) + frac(3x) + frac(5x) + frac(k*x) > 1 for all k > 5 and k < 10.
