| Apr 9, 2020 at 15:42 | comment | added | Will Sawin | The angle $\theta_p$ has little arithmetic meaning compared to $\tau(p)$. Expressed in terms of $\tau(p)$, this identity is something like $11^{11/2} / (\sqrt{3} ( \tau(11) - 11^{11/2} )) \approx 691$ which doesn't seem to have arithmetic meaning. | |

| Sep 14, 2010 at 16:40 | comment | added | muad | It is probably not as deep as the sort of thing you are getting at but a slightly related thing is the continued fraction for the real root of $x^3-8x-10$. This number has some huge partial quotients very early on (which is uncharacteristic for an algebraic number, also note that the discriminant has 163 as a factor). | |
