Auxiliary fractions observation
1 Attachment(s)
I was watching a vedic math YouTube video on the concept of auxiliary fractions and noticed something about the prepended remainders. I am not well educated in mathematics and lack the proper terminology, so I have attached a photo. I'll do my best to explain an example and welcome any insight. Most likely a well known concept, but I'd like to learn more!
Ex: 1/39 = Auxiliary fraction first order 0.1/4 0.[SUB]1[/SUB]0[SUB]2[/SUB]2[SUB]2[/SUB]5[SUB]1[/SUB]6[SUB]0[/SUB]4[SUB]0[/SUB]1 The prepended remainders 001221[SUB]4[/SUB]= 105[SUB]10[/SUB] AND ((40^6)-1)/399 = 105,025,641 *notice the 105 prepended to the repetend of 1/39. (Also noted that 4095[SUB]10[/SUB] = 333333[SUB]4[/SUB] I've worked out dozens of examples in many other bases and the same is always true. Another example is included in my photo. |
Looks remarkably similar to the discussion in [url=https://mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?t=24331]this thread[/url].
