Definition

The period of a fraction is the digits that repeat themselves.

The digits can be from 0-9, and the length of the period is determined by the denominator, n in \frac{a}{n} .

Examples

\frac{22}{7}= 3.142857142857\dots where the period here is 142857 and has a length 6 \frac{1}{2} = 0.5000000\dots has the period 0, with the length being 1.
