Decimal Expansions

20 Apr 2009

As part of a Projects in Mathematics Class in Spring of 2009, I worked in a team researching the topic of Decimal Expansions.

Every rational number has a periodic decimal expansion. Extremely unique periods exist in the case of prime rational numbers. With the discovery of a lower bound on the distribution of the periods of primes, the likelihood of the possible periods of various primes can be predicted.

See report below for further details.
