The question is: I need to determine how long the period will be for repeating fractions that have a delay?

Question

Def: Length of Delay: Number of places to the right of the decimal point before the first period (series) begins. 3/22 = .1363636 delay is 1

Answer 1

Why should there be a rule that relates delay and period? The period depends on the point at which the fractional part cycles through the divisor and remainder.
