Long Period Prime/Examples/17

Theorem
The prime number $17$ is a long period prime:
 * $\dfrac 1 {17} = 0 \cdotp \dot 05882 \, 35294 \, 11764 \, \dot 7$

Proof
From Reciprocal of 17:


 * $\dfrac 1 {17} = 0 \cdotp \dot 05882 \, 35294 \, 11764 \, \dot 7$

Counting the digits, it is seen that this has a period of recurrence of $16$.

Hence the result.
