RE: mini challenge: find the smallest cosine of an integer
If calculator had 12-digits precision, and we would like to search x of 14 digits:
pi/2/100 ≈ (x/100) / (2k+1) Pick (pi/2/100) convergents with odd denominator, then numerator = x/100 Note: To get x of 14 digits, numerator must be 12 digits. c:\> spigot -d20 -C pi/2/100 | tail -5 1324880093/84344486322 8539351431/543631996417 9864231524/627976482739 205823981911/13103161651197 833160159168/53040623087527 HP50g: 833160159168E2 COS → -2.94461252684E-14 (red part should be 2017582) |
