- ContinuedFraction[ <Number> ]
- Creates continued fraction of given number. The result is a LaTeX text object. The fraction is computed numerically within precision 10-8.
Example:
ContinuedFraction[5.45]
gives
5 + \frac{1}{ 2+ \frac{1}{4+ \frac{1}{ 1+ \frac{1}{ 1 } } } } - ContinuedFraction[ <Number>, <Level> ]
- Creates continued fraction of given number. Number of quotients is less than or equal to Level, but never exceeds the number of quotients needed to achieve the precision mentioned above.
- ContinuedFraction[ <Number>, <Level (optional)>, <Shorthand true|false> ]
- Meaning of first two arguments is same as above. When Shorthand is true, shorter syntax for the result is used: the LaTeX text contains a list of the integer parts of the continued fraction.
Example:
ContinuedFraction[5.45, true]
gives [5; 2, 4, 1, 1]
