Abstract

A method of constructing finite pp-adic Sylvester expansions for all rationals is presented. This method parallels the classical Fibonacci-Sylvester (greedy) algorithm by iterating a pp-adic division algorithm. The method extends to irrational pp-adics that have an embedding in the reals.
