COMMENTS
The 19th convergent breaks down at number 95 so a 16 digit ratio gives 91 digits accuracy!
FORMULA
The odd natural numbers 1,3,5.. are concatenated and then preceded by a decimal point to create the fraction N = .1357911131517... . This number is then evaluated with n=1,m=steps to iterate,x = N, a(0)=floor(N) using the loop: do a(n)=floor(x) x=1/(x-a(n)) n=n+1 loop until n=m
EXAMPLE
The 19th convergent 13308887/98010000 =
0.13579111315171921232527293133353739414345474951535557596163656769717375777981\
