We stop when the difference portion = 0, and use the Integer Column for our representation:

Our continued fraction representation is: [0; 1, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333, 3, 333]
