In this paper, we study the Cauchy problem for the Riccati differential equation with constant coefficients and a modified Gerasimov-Caputo type fractional differential operator of variable order. Using Newton's numerical algorithm, calculation curves are constructed taking into account different values of the Cauchy problem parameters. The calculation results are compared with the previously obtained results. The computational accuracy of the numerical algorithm is investigated. It is shown using the Runge rule that the computational accuracy tends to the accuracy of the numerical method when increasing the nodes of the calculated grid.
