Comments

Arguably the most well known FFF constant. Note that its precise value depends on the definition of the furlong being used. The value given here is using the international definition of the inch which equals 25.4 millimeters, thus one furlong equals 201.168 meters precisely.

Formula

1802617499785.2541159627773801002... furlongs/fortnight = (speed of light in meters/second) * (meter-to-furlong conversion) * (seconds/fortnight) = (299792458 meters/second) * (1/201.168 furlongs/meter) * (1209600 seconds/fortnight).

a(n) = 9 - a(n-21) for n >= 42. - Jianing Song, Jan 25 2020
