| dc.description | Take the fraction 1/7 as an example. The digits 1, 4, 2, 8, 5, 7 are the quotients (inner ring) and 3, 2, 6, 4, 5, 1 are the remainders (outer ring). Notice that 1+8=4+5=2+7=9 and 3+4=2+5=1+6=7.
In general, let q be the denominator of a fraction. If q is prime and the multiplicative order of q(mod10) is even, then this fraction has the property that the digits of its decimal expansion repeat in cycles. The length of the period is equal to the smallest integer e such that 10^8=1 mod10. In the particular case that 10 is a primitive root of this prime, the length of the cycle is q-1.
Also, because there are an even number of them, the digits can be divided into two halves. The digits of the decimal expansion can be regarded as quotients arising from the long division algorithm. The remainders in the long division appear in cycles too, then. Arranging the digits of the fraction with the remainders in two circles, diametrically opposite directions sum to 9 in the inner ring and to the denominator in the outer ring. The first digit is at the top and the digits are arranged clockwise, as indicated by the black arrow | |
