The objective of this study is to reveal the intrinsic connection between fractal operators in physical fractal spaces and continued fractions. The specific contributions include: (1) reviewing fundamental concepts of continued fractions and physical fractal theory; (2) establishing algebraic structure consistency between continued fractions and fractal operators through the medium of generation mappings; (3) discussing the convergence of fractal operators by employing theory from continued fraction analysis; and (4) confirming the correspondence between fixed points of infinite continued fractions and algebraic equations governing fractal operators.
