Numerators of lower rational approximants of Pi with the first 5 terms given by Adam Adamandy Kochański in 1685, continued using a reconstruction by Fukś that is highly likely to match Kochański's incompletely published method.

COMMENTS

The corresponding denominators are given in A199658.
The reconstruction refers to the calculation of the "genitores" in A191642, for which Kochański only announced that he would describe them in more detail in a future work: "I will explain the aforementioned method more completely in Polymathic thoughts and inventions, which work, if God prolongs my life, I have decided to put out for public benefit" (translation from Latin by H. Fukś).

FORMULA
|
a(n) = R(n-1)*A191642(n-1) + 3, where A191642 are Kochański's "genitores";
R(n) = R(n-1)*(A191642(n-1) + 1) + 3;
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
a(1) = 25 because Kochański's first lower bound was 25/8 = a(1)/A199658(1) and his first upper bound was 22/7 = A199671(1)/A199672(1).
a(2) = R(1) * A191642(1) + 3 = 22*15 + 3 = 330 + 3 = 333,
R(2) = R(1) * (A191642(1) + 1 ) + 3 = 22*(15 + 1) + 3 = 355 = A199671(2).
