Basic arithmetic with continued fractions?

[edit]

Are the basic arithmetic operations for rational CF's well described, like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, exponents, log and antilog, etc? I can't seem to find any good reference works on the subject. Earl of Arundel (talk) 15:54, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Just in case you haven’t already noticed these, we have Continued fraction#Of reciprocals and Continued fraction#Square roots. Loraof (talk) 20:18, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Basic ops (+−×÷) are covered in HAKMEM iirc. Dunno about transcendentals. —Tamfang (talk) 05:05, 25 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
