Convergent
The Rational Number obtained by keeping only a limited number of terms in a Continued Fraction is called aconvergent. For example, in the Simple Continued Fraction for the Golden Ratio,
the convergents are
The word convergent is also used to describe a Convergent Sequence or Convergent Series.
