Abstract
The continued fraction mapping maps a number in the interval to the sequence of its partial quotients. When restricted to the set of irrationals, which is a subspace of the Euclidean space , the continued fraction mapping is a homeomorphism onto the product space , where is a discrete space. In this short note, we examine the continuity of the continued fraction mapping, addressing both irrational and rational points of the unit interval.
