Minicalculators and Repeating Decimals.
Lichtenberg, Donovan R.
Mathematics Teacher, v71 n6 p524-30 Sep 1978, Sep78

Even the decimal representations of numbers, such as one-seventeenth and one-nineteenth, can be easily computed. Many examples are given, and some theoretical discussion is included. (Author/MP)
