Comments

n/x = x-n with n=1 gives the Golden Ratio = 1.6180339887...

Equals n +n/(n +n/(n +n/(n +....))) for n = 9. See also A090388. - Stanislav Sykora, Jan 23 2014

Formula

n/x = x-n ==> x^2 - n*x - n = 0 ==> x = (n + sqrt(n^2 + 4*n)) / 2 (Positive Root) n = 9: x = (9 + sqrt(117))/2 = 9.90832691319598...

Equals (3/2)*(3 + sqrt(13)). - G. C. Greubel, Jul 03 2017
