What is the value of this continued fraction?

209 Views Asked by At

I am curious about the value of the continued fraction $$1+\cfrac{1}{2+\cfrac{1}{3+\cfrac{1}{4+\cfrac{1}{5+\cfrac{1}{6+\dots}}}}}.$$

  1. Can we evaluate it ?
  2. Is it a nice value ?

Clearly it should be a transcendental number. But I have no idea about calculate it.
