Every periodic continued fraction can be prepresented by a number of the form
where p, q, and d are all integers with d>0,
, and d not a perfect square. Given the cointued fraction sequence, both the beginning sequence and cyclic part of the sequence [front, cyclic], output the unique p, q, and d (in reduced form). p and q can both be negative.
