How do I make this in LaTeX? I keep losing track of the brackets.

The following code is "full LaTeX":
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath} % for "\cfrac" macro
\begin{document}
\[
\mathrm{e}=
2+\cfrac{1}{1+\cfrac{1}{2+\cfrac{1}{1+\cfrac{1}{1+
\cfrac{1}{4+\cfrac{1}{1+\cfrac{1}{1+\cfrac{1}{6+
\cdots\vphantom{\cfrac{1}{1}} }}}}}}}}
\]
\end{document}
If you want, you can copy and paste the math part -- the stuff between \[ and \] -- into latex2png.com.

latex2png.com! – Mico Dec 30 '16 at 18:36 -

Or, using no packages:
\documentclass{standalone}
\begin{document}
$e=
2+\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{2+\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{4+\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{6+\cdots}}}}}}}
}
$
\end{document}
Yields:
Although \cfrac works better, this seemed to be what you were originally trying to get.
The copyable code for the website would be:
e=2+\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{2+\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{4+\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{6+\cdots}}}}}}}}
