With this ratio the slower wheel turns in 191.67 minutes, for an error of two-thirds of a minute.
Further approximations are constructed in the same way, always adding the latest entry in the table to whichever of its neighbors reduces the error term. The method is deterministic, with no need for guesswork or trial and error. And, like any good algorithm, it is guaranteed to terminate eventually. The end comes when the process converges on the original ratio , which necessarily has an error of zero. For Brocot’s example, the final table looks like this:
