Let θ be a real number with continued fraction expansion θ = a 0 , a 1 , a 2 , , and let M = a b c d be a matrix with integer entries and nonzero determinant. If θ has bounded partial quotients, then a θ + b c θ + d = a 0 * , a 1 * , a 2 * , also has bounded partial quotients. More precisely, if a j K for all sufficiently large j , then a j * | det ( M ) | ( K + 2 ) for all sufficiently large j . We also give a weaker bound valid for all a j * with j 1 . The proofs use the homogeneous Diophantine approximation constant L θ = lim sup q q q θ - 1 . We show that 1 det ( M ) L ( θ ) L a θ + b c θ + d det ( M ) L ( θ ) .
