Abstract: The well known Three Gap Theorem states that there are at most three gap sizes in the sequence of fractional parts ${alphan}_{n<N}$ . It is known that if one averages over {alpha}, the distribution becomes continuous. We present an alternative approach, which establishes this averaged result and also provides good bounds for the error terms.
