    Is 142857 the only "cyclical number"?

    Hell No
    says OliveriO

    Supposedly, there are an infinite number of them
    with 142857 being the smallest
    and easiest to understand.

    It represents the repeating digits for the fraction 1/7
    I had a wonderful time lecturing at Cal State Dominguez Hills
    with the eighteen repeating digits for the fraction 1/19.

    Another one is the repeating digits for the fraction 1/97
    anything bigger than that is mind-bogglingly
    difficult to demonstrate
