Thus far we have considered diophantine approximation problems where we are trying to find good approximations to a single irrational number α.This can be expressed as determining integers p and q that minimize $$ \left| {q\alpha - p} \right|$$. Continued fraction techniques can be used to efficiently determine integers p and q satisfying 4.1$$ \left| {q\alpha - p} \right| \leqslant \frac{1}{q}.$$ This is a rewritten form of Proposition 5.
