127*Sqrt(62)
 

Have you ever looked at its decimal expansion? :wink:

It appears to be

[TEX]a - a^{-1} - \frac12 a^{-3} - \frac12 a^{-5} - \frac58 a^{-7} - \frac78 a^{-9} - \frac{21}{16} a^{-11} - \frac{33}{16} a^{-13} - \frac{429}{128} a^{-15} - \frac{715}{128} a^{-17} - ...[/TEX]

where a = 1000.

Curious!

Well it is not so curious that sqrt(10^6-2) has that expansion
but (at least to me) the interesting part is the fact that 10^6-2=(2^8-1)^2*(2^5-1)*2
or 10^6/2-1 = 499999 = 127^2*31 (nice factorization into mersenne primes)
