Periodic Continued Fraction
A periodic continued fraction is a continued fraction (generally a regular continued fraction) whose terms eventually repeat from some point onwards. The minimal number of repeating terms is called the period of the continued fraction. All nontrivial periodic continued fractions represent irrational numbers. In general, an infinite simple fraction (periodic or otherwise) represents a unique irrational number, and each irrational number has a unique infinite continued fraction.
The square root of a squarefree integer has a periodic continued fraction of the form
![]() |
(1) |
(Rose 1994, p. 130), where the repeating portion (excluding the last term) is symmetric upon reversal, and the central term may appear either once or twice.
If is not a square number, then the terms of the continued fraction of
satisfy
![]() |
(2) |
An even stronger result is that a continued fraction is periodic iff it is a root of a quadratic polynomial. Calling the portion of a number remaining after a given convergent the "tail," it must be true that the relationship between the number
and terms in its tail is of the form
![]() |
(3) |
which can only lead to a quadratic equation.
The periods of the continued fractions of the square roots of the first few nonsquare integers 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, ... (OEIS A000037) are 1, 2, 1, 2, 4, 2, 1, 2, 2, 5, ... (OEIS A013943; Williams 1981, Jacobson et al. 1995). These numbers and their continued fraction representations are summarized in the following table.
