Cyclic Number

Posted by Jithin K.Rajeev on September 1, 2008

Got this through a forward. Found it interesting. Guess, you too will find it so.

142857 is a cyclic number.

Multiply the numbers with 1-6 one by one and notice what happens.

142857 * 1 = 142857

142857 * 3 = 428571

142857 * 2 = 285714

142857 * 6 = 857142

142857 * 4 = 571428

142857 * 5 = 714285

Look how the digits change in the product, it cycles! How interesting!
