Is the following question appropriate for CS SE ? - Given a decimal number $z$ of 8 digits after decimal Point. Is there an algorithm which will find $x,y$ such that $\frac{x}{y}=z$ ($x,y$ could be irrational, $y$ is not a power of $10$) ? example-Here, $0.29411764705882352941176470588235=\frac{5}{17}$.So, $x=5, y=17$. So, if $0.29411764705882352941176470588235$ is given, is there an algorithm which can find $5,17$ ?

In mathematics, a continued fraction is an expression obtained through an iterative process of representing a number as the sum of its integer part and the reciprocal of another number, then writing this other number as the sum of its integer part and another reciprocal, and so on. In a finite continued fraction (or terminated continued fraction), the iteration/recursion is terminated after finitely many steps by using an integer in lieu of another continued fraction. In contrast, an infinite continued fraction is an infinite expression. In either case, all integers in the sequence, other than...
