[edit] Try

Try 76,923. Multiply it by 2. The sets of digits are not the same. However, look at all the multiples of 76,923 from 76,923*3 to 76,923*12 and it will have something very similar to 142,857. Any other numbers?? 66.32.145.196 00:49, 11 Apr 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Found number PI (3,1415) in 142857

If I multiplicate 0,142857 with 2 exactly 41 times, I receive 3,1414586....^11 and I found, that I can rebuild 0,142857 from 1/7

1/7 = 2/14 <--- 0,_14 1/7 = 4/28 <--- 0,_14_28 1/7 = 8/56 <--- 0,_14_28_56


and if i do the following:

1# divide 9 / 8 
2# divide the result / 7
3#
 result / 6 
 result / 5
 result / 4
 result / 3
 result / 2
4# multiplicate the result with 2 , exactly 5 times.
then i receive a term 1/140 = 0,007142857

complete calculation:

1#  9/8  * 1/7 * 1/6 * 1/5  * 1/4 * 1/3 * 1/2
2#  = 9/40320
3# * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 
4# = 288/40320 
   = 1/140
5# 0,007142857

[edit] What will be the Factorial of 285714 (i.e. 285784!)

What will be the Factorial of 285714 (i.e. 285784!) -Unknown

[edit] Very interesting number!

Cyclic numbers have very interesting properties, I wonder if anyone is interested in them and uses them as an ID or something? Tyciol 13:59, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
