Representing Irrational Numbers of Note As Golden Ratio Base Numbers
The base-φ representations of some interesting numbers:
- π ≈ 100.0100 1010 1001 0001 0101 0100 0001 0100 ...φ (sequence A102243 in OEIS)
- e ≈ 100.0000 1000 0100 1000 0000 0100 ...φ (sequence A105165 in OEIS)
- √2 ≈ 1.0100 0001 0100 1010 0100 0000 0101 0000 0000 0101 ...φ
- φ = (1+√5)/2 = 10φ
- √5 = 10.1φ
