Let α be an algebraic irrational number, let S be a finite set of primes, and let ε>0. There are only finitely many reduced fractions p/q whose denominator is S-smooth number and which satisfy
​α−qp​​<q−1−ε.

This is the denominator-restricted consequence of the finite-place Schmidt subspace theorem.
