For r=sqrt(2), the first five fractions b(n)/a(n) can be read from the following five primitive Pythagorean triples (a(n), b(n), c(n)) = (A195500, A195501, A195502): (3,4,5); |r - b(1)/a(1)| = 0.08... (228,325,397); |r - b(2)/a(2)| = 0.011... (308,435,533); |r - b(3)/a(3)| = 0.0018... (5289,7480,9161); |r - b(4)/a(4)| = 0.000042... (543900,769189,942061); |r - b(5)/a(5)| = 0.0000003...
