Perhaps it would be helpful to look at the next few values of d, as defined by the question (note: the parens enclose the repeating pattern): """ 1.0/11 = 0.(09) 1.0/12 = 0.08(3) 1.0/13 = 0.(076923) 1.0/14 = 0.0(714285) 1.0/15 = 0.0(6) 1.0/16 = 0.0625 1.0/17 = 0.(0588235294117647) """ No spoilers there, hopefully :) Have fun!
