Problem 57 21 November 2003 It is possible to show that the square root of two can be expressed as an infinite continued fraction. 2 = 1 + 1/(2 + 1/(2 + 1/(2 + ... ))) = 1.414213... By expanding this for the first four iterations, we get: 1 + 1/2 = 3/2 = 1.5 1 + 1/(2 + 1/2) = 7/5 = 1.4 1 + 1/(2 + 1/(2 + 1/2)) = 17/12 = 1.41666... 1 + 1/(2 + 1/(2 + 1/(2 + 1/2))) = 41/29 = 1.41379... The next thre..
