I have a curiousity.
Is there a theorem or conjecture like this ?
"For any irrational number, like square root of 2, we can always find the approximation of at most 3 rational numbers with just +,-,* and /" ?
- Xophmeister 3y agoIf you're allowing division, you can get arbitrarily close with just two (potentially very large) integers.
- vanderZwan 3y agoI guess the more interesting conjecture would be stating something about the size of the integers compared to the irrational number
- alanbernstein 3y agoContinued fractions can be used to find best rational approximations. But you can also just use floor(x*10^n)/10^n.
