I mean the built-in commands in the 50g, →Q and →Qπ, just that I was too lazy to use the proper Unicode characters.

I don't know or looked at the algorithm implemented for HP calcs.
It's essentially the same algorithm as Wikipedia but more streamlined to find rational approximations.
I actually took the simplified algorithm from this description.
