FORMULA
EXAMPLE
x = ...5536362092014529544671708888060625632063569426345211
where x = 1 + 10*x^2.
This constant equals the 10-adic sum involving the Catalan numbers:
x = 1 + 1*10 + 2*10^2 + 5*10^3 + 14*10^4 + 42*10^5 + 132*10^6 + 429*10^7 + ... + A000108(n)*10^n + ...
Also, x = (1 + y)/20 where a 10-adic integer value of y = -sqrt(-39) (y^2 = ...999999961) is y = ...727241840290590893434177761212512641271388526904219.
Also, the 10-adic integer value of -1/x = 10*x - 1 = ...256320635694263452109. Thus, x satisfies x * (10*x - 1) = ...999999999 = -1 (see A395839).
