Minicalculators and Repeating Decimals.

Lichtenberg, Donovan R.

Mathematics Teacher, v71 n6 p524-30 Sep 1978, Sep78

This article shows how an inexpensive calculator can be used advantageously to determine repeating decimals. 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)
