Cyclic Number

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!

interesting but it would have been even more interesting if it actually changed in a cycle as you increment the multiplier…. (as in for *2, *3, …)…
