If I use 'replace', I'm getting:
((((((1+2/1)/2)+2/((1+2/1)/2))/2)+2/((((1+2/1)/2)+2/((1+2/1)/2))/2))/2)=0.8359375

If I use 'replace all', I'm getting
((((((((((((((x+2/x)/2)+2/((x+2/x)/2))/2)+2/((((x+2/x)/2)+2/((x+2/x)/2))/2))/2)+2/((((((x+2/x)/2)+2/((x+2/x)/2))/2)+2/((((x+2/x)/2)+2/((x+2/x)/2))/2))/2))/2)+2/((((((((x+2/x)/2)+2/((x+2/x)/2))/2)+2/((((x+2/x)/2)+2/((x+2/x)/2))/2))/2)+2/((((((x+2/x)/2)+2/((x+2/x)/2))/2)+2/((((x+2/x)/2)+2/((x+2/x)/2))/2))/2))/2))/2)+2/((((((((((x+2/x)/2)+2/((x+2/x)/2))/2)+2/((((x+2/x)/2)+2/((x+2/x)/2))/2))/2)+2/((((((x+2/x)/2)+2/((x+2/x)/2))/2)+2/((((x+2/x)/2)+2/((x+2/x)/2))/2))/2))/2)+2/((((((((x+2/x)/2)+2/((x+2/x)/2))/2)+2/((((x+2/x)/2)+2/((x+2/x)/2))/2))/2)+2/((((((x+2/x)/2)+2/((x+2/x)/2))/2)+2/((((x+2/x)/2)+2/((x+2/x)/2))/2))/2))/2))/2))/2)+2/((((((((((((x+2/x)/2)+2/((x+2/x)/2))/2)+2/((((x+2/x)/2)+2/((x+2/x)/2))/2))/2)+2/((((((x+2/x)/2)+2/((x+2/x)/2))/2)+2/((((x+2/x)/2)+2/((x+2/x)/2))/2))/2))/2)+2/((((((((x+2/x)/2)+2/((x+2/x)/2))/2)+2/((((x+2/x)/2)+2/((x+2/x)/2))/2))/2)+2/((((((x+2/x)/2)+2/((x+2/x)/2))/2)+2/((((x+2/x)/2)+2/((x+2/x)/2))/2))/2))/2))/2)+2/((((((((((x+2/x)/2)+2/((x+2/x)/2))/2)+2/((((x+2/x)/2)+2/((x+2/x)/2))/2))/2)+2/((((((x+2/x)/2)+2/((x+2/x)/2))/2)+2/((((x+2/x)/2)+2/((x+2/x)/2))/2))/2))/2)+2/((((((((x+2/x)/2)+2/((x+2/x)/2))/2)+2/((((x+2/x)/2)+2/((x+2/x)/2))/2))/2)+2/((((((x+2/x)/2)+2/((x+2/x)/2))/2)+2/((((x+2/x)/2)+2/((x+2/x)/2))/2))/2))/2))/2))/2))/2)=0.010075192...

What am I missing?

Oros

Yeah, use replace all. In the last attempt you haven't replaced x with 1.

You're right. :embarrassed:

0.05314798...?

Oros

Strange. What calculator are you using? It works ok with windows calculator.

Maybe you need some extra parentheses. Try using ((x+(2/x))/2).

Victor

calc.exe - the default calculator in Windows 7.

What is the actual formula?

Oros

I'm using win7 calculator too. This is what should happen:

This one's golden.

start: x=
replace term: (1+1/x)
iterations: 15
start value: 1

Have you got your replace function in regex mode?
