Convergents of e
Problem 65
The square root of 2 can be written as an infinite continued fraction.
√2 = 1 + |
1
| |||
2 + |

| |||
2 + |

2 + |

| |||
2 + ... |
The infinite continued fraction can be written, √2 = [1;(2)], (2) indicates that 2 repeats ad infinitum. In a similar way, √23 = [4;(1,3,1,8)].
It turns out that the sequence of partial values of continued fractions for square roots provide the best rational approximations. Let us consider the convergents for √2.

Hence the sequence of the first ten convergents for √2 are:
What is most surprising is that the important mathematical constant,
e = [2; 1,2,1, 1,4,1, 1,6,1 , ... , 1,2k,1, ...].
The first ten terms in the sequence of convergents for e are:
The sum of digits in the numerator of the 10th convergent is 1+4+5+7=17.
Find the sum of digits in the numerator of the 100th convergent of the continued fraction for e.
题意:
e的有理逼近
2的算术平方根可以写成无限连分数的形式。
这个无限连分数可以简记为√2 = [1;(2)],其中(2)表示2无限重复。同样的,我们可以记√23 = [4;(1,3,1,8)]。
可以证明,截取算术平方根连分数表示的一部分所组成的序列,给出了一系列最佳有理逼近值。让我们来考虑√2的逼近值:
因此√2的前十个逼近值为:
1, 3/2, 7/5, 17/12, 41/29, 99/70, 239/169, 577/408, 1393/985, 3363/2378, …
最令人惊讶的莫过于重要的数学常数e有如下连分数表示
e = [2; 1,2,1, 1,4,1, 1,6,1 , … , 1,2k,1, …]。
e的前十个逼近值为:
2, 3, 8/3, 11/4, 19/7, 87/32, 106/39, 193/71, 1264/465, 1457/536, …
第10个逼近值的分子各位数字之和为1+4+5+7=17。
求e的第100个逼近值的分子各位数字之和。
题解:因为题目说e = [2; 1,2,1, 1,4,1, 1,6,1 , … , 1,2k,1, …].
所以出发点只能在这里了。怎么理解这个连分数呢?其实很简单.
e的第一个逼近就是2
第二个逼近就是
第三个逼近就是
第四个逼近就是
第五个逼近就是....自己依此去推!....
这里用到高精度。
其实.....然后开始写代码吧....不贴代码了....自己写...(我写了个大概能秒出第1000个逼近。。。)啊。。。好鶸。。。
