Entering the Value

Enter the real value you wish to display as a continued fraction, then click on the button. Use the decimal point "." as the decimal delimiter.

Example: Enter the real number 7.248 and click on the button. The tool will then

For the above, the needed math is displayed step by step.

For a longer continued fraction, try for example 0.457365544; however, due to machine limitations your input is restricted to 12 significant digits.

You may also enter a fraction in the form "Numerator / Denominator", e.g.: 173/390.

Should you notice an error, it would be very kind of you to tell me what number caused a such: my mail address can be found above.
