%N Numbers n such that both n*Pi and n*e are within 1/sqrt(n) of integers.

%C For any irrational x and y there exist infinitely many positive integers n such that max(|n*x - Z|,|n*y - Z|) < 1/sqrt(n), where Z is the set of integers.

%e |50*Pi - 157| and |50*e - 136| are both less than 1/sqrt(50) so 50 is in the sequence.
