From Wiktionary, the free dictionary
continued fraction (plural continued fractions)
The initial integer may be zero or even negative; subsequent non-numerator terms should be positive (while not strictly necessary, it is easier to prove convergence with positive terms).
Generally, it is assumed that every numerator is 1; if distinction is necessary, such a fraction may be called regular or simple or be said to be in canonical form. (See continued fraction on Wikipedia.Wikipedia )
