a theorem in the theory of numbers.
... L A G R A N G E has shown that if the indeterminate equation x2 — Ry2 = ± D is resolvable in integers, D being less than VR, and x and y being relative primes, then D is a denominator of a complete quotient in the expansion of VR in a continued fraction. (For a proof of this theorem, see ChrystaPs A ...

Activity 1 Lesson
... Step 3 Repeat the process again using a third pair of square roots. In Activity 2, you should have discovered that when the quotient of two numbers c and a is a third number b, it is also the case that the quotient of the square root of c and the square root of a is the square √c ...
