%N Decimal expansion of the continued fraction prime(1) + prime(1)/(prime(2) + prime(2)/(prime(3) + prime(3)/(prime(4) + prime(4)/...))).

%C Given a nondecreasing sequence s(n) of natural numbers (such as, in this case, that of primes A000079), the corresponding continued fraction is bf(s(n)) = a(1) + a(1)/(a(2) + a(2)/(a(3) + a(3)/(...))).

%C For the inverse of this mapping of nondecreasing sequences of natural numbers into irrational real numbers greater than 1, see A233582.
