"Rudy Velthuis" <newsgroups@rvelthuis.de> writes: > Then I don't quite understand it. If you already have a mathematical > real, then what is the problem? You want to find a rational approximation to your mathematical real. E.g. suppose your real is pi. You could use 31/10 as an approximation, but it turns out 22/7 is closer. If you want even better, 355/113 is extremely close. How do you find these fractions? You could do a brute force search through possible denominators, but there's a much faster algorithm using continued fractions that I posted.
