or terms of the continued fraction.

When the expression contains finitely many terms, it is called a finite continued fraction.When the expression contains infinitely many terms, it is called an infinite continued fraction.When the terms eventually repeat from some point onwards, the continued fraction is called periodic.

Thus, all of the following illustrate valid finite simple continued fractions:

For simple continued fractions of the form

the term can be
