This page is the 1428th page, that is approximately 142857 (the smallest cyclic number) divided by 100
Cyclic numbers have a special property, and that is that the digits cycle around when multiplied
Example:
- 142857x2=285,714
- 142857x3=428,571
- 142857x4=571,428
- 142857x5=714,285
- 142857x6=857,142
- 142857x7=999,999
You might notice that the digits cycle around in the answer. That is why it is called a cyclic number. This number is also approximately (1/7)x1000000.
