Until this has been finished, please leave {{refactor}} in the code.
New contributors: Refactoring is a task which is expected to be undertaken by experienced editors only. Because of the underlying complexity of the work needed, it is recommended that you do not embark on a refactoring task until you have become familiar with the structural nature of pages of $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$.
Theorem
Let $\left[{a_0, a_1, a_2, \ldots}\right]$ be a simple infinite continued fraction.
Then:
- $\left[{a_1, a_2, a_3, \ldots}\right] = a_1 + \dfrac 1 {\left[{a_2, a_3, \ldots}\right]}$
Proof
use continuity
You can help $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ by crafting such a proof.
When this page/section has been completed, {{ProofWanted}} should be removed from the code.
If you would welcome a second opinion as to whether your work is correct, add a call to {{Proofread}} the page (see the proofread template for usage).
