Repeating Decimals

[tgray]

Cool post. I learned something. I also implemented Joe's method for the DM42/Free42: link

I did notice that Joe's algorithm misses the first repeating period of 11632/864. I think this is because when you factor 864 for factors of 2 and 5, you get 2^5 for the 2's. So following the method, there are 5 non repeating digits after the decimal, even though there are actually only 2, with the next 3 being the first period of the repeating set of 3 digits. I didn't attempt to fix this.

11632/864 -> 13.46_296...
