The paper investigates refinements on a theorem of Legendre concerning the approximation coefficient of a rational number with respect to a real irrational number. Using the same approach the authors prove a result announced by Fatou in 1904, as well as the analogues of Legendre's theorem for two other types of continued fractions.
