Abstract

Objective: To introduce a new novel approach to the understanding of Engel expansions of ratios of number sequences. Methodology: Let C be the ratios of consecutive elements of sequence obtained from the sum of digits of squared positive integers and D be the ratios of consecutive elements of sequence that is the complement of C but the domain is the positive integer. Engel series expansions and Pierce expansion were obtained for C while only Engel series expansions were obtained for D. Findings: The distance between the respective Engel series and their means for the two sequences are neither unique nor uniformly distributed. The finite Engel series elements of the mean may not be the member of the series. The research will help in examining the amount of variance or divergence or how different rational numbers varies in a given sequence
