Learning to systematically answer such questions will not only equip readers to fluently use fractions, but also introduce or reintroduce them gently to the Queen of Mathematics – Number Theory.en-USAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 InternationalBisectional fractionmathematical inductionapproximationsbisectional continued fraction representationArticle
