Thank to everyone who contributed to this thread. I did have the
horrible feeling this would probably end up as either total brute force
or brute force perhaps with a twist. It was in the hopes of finding a
twist I requested comments and suggestions from people whose opinions
and suggestions are al

If you are starting from fractions, I think you have to find the prime
factors of the denominator. I

Well, going with brute force, I'm amazed at how long some strings of
repeating
What you are searching for is sheer bruteforce however if I'm guessing it
right then you are solving Project Euler and you are thinking in wrong
direction.

Hi,
I am trying to build an algorithm or methodology which will let me tell
if a decimal has a repeating sequence of digits and if it does have that
attribute, what is the sequence of digits. For example, 1/3.0 =
0.3..By eyeballing we know it has a repeating sequence and we
know that the s
