Quote:Of course the is no such sawtooth, mathematically. What you see is the result of roundoff errors, especially when calculating 1+1/n. After the addition of 1 only 8 out of 12 digits of the original 1/n value are left. Maybe you can try rewriting the equation as exp[n ยท ln1+x(1/n)].

BTW the exact result is n = 4821,66555538...

Yes, correct interpretation. The ramp is the exponent, the step the new rounded 1+1/n.
And your result is dead on; today I found n = 4821.66555538178034.. but can't go beyond that.
