A Fractional Sequence
The initial investigation uses an inductive formula and two initial values to derive a sequence that results in a series of fractions before returning to the initial two values of the sequence. A spreadsheet is provided that performs the calculations given in the inductive formula. This is helpful for both checking results and testing conjectures.
Determining the general case involves repeated use of using an inductive formula and algebraic fractions.
