Abstract: A classical theorem in continued fractions due to Serret shows that for any two irrational numbers x and y related by a transformation $gamma$ in PGL(2,Z) there exist s and t for which the complete quotients x_s and y_t coincide. In this paper we give an upper bound in terms of $gamma$ for the smallest indices s and t.
