There are strong relations between the theory of continued fractions and groups of linear fractional transformations. We consider the group G3,3 generated by the linear fractional transformations a = 1 - 1/z and b = z + 2. This group is the unique subgroup of the modular group PSL(2, iL ) with index 2. We calculate the cusp point of an element given as a word in generators. Conversely, we use the continued fraction expansion of a given rational number p/q, to obtain an element in G(3,3) with cusp point p/q. As a result, we say that the action of G(3,3) on rational numbers is transitive.
