Extract
The infinite continued fraction
in which
is periodic with period l and is equal to a quadratic surd if and only if the partial quotients, ak, are integers or rational numbers [1]. We shall also assume that they are positive. The transformation discussed below applies only to pure periodic fractions where n is zero.
