The mathematical constants e and p are ubiquitous in mathematical and scientific formulae. In addition they are known as the transcendental numbers as they are infinitely, non-repeating continued fractions [P. Becknam, A History of p, The Golem Press, New York, 1971, D. Blatner, The Joy of p, Walker Publishing Company, Inc. USA, 1997, E Maor. E: The Story of a Number, Princeton University Press, Princeton, NJ, 1994]. A formula has been devised in this paper where these two transcendental mathematical constants are related to each other by only four other integers: 3, 4, 5 and 7.
