%C Previous name was: Consider pairs of fractions (x,y) starting (4,3) and updated via z:=1/(1/x+1/y), x->x-z, y->y-z. The sequence shows the triples (numerator(x), numerator(y), numerator(x)-numerator(y)) after each update.

%e (x=4,y=3) is shown as the first triple (4,3,1) in the sequence. This generates z=12/7 which generates the new pair (x,y) = (16/7,9/7) shown as (16,9,7). - _R. J. Mathar_, Feb 09 2011
