Such boring limitations, as previously noted. But monstrously large floating points and regexes? Bah. It is simple enough to compute directly using boringly small integers:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; my( $num, $den )= ( 1, 7, @ARGV )[2&@ARGV,-1]; my $rem= $num % $den; my %seen; my $rep= ''; while( 1 ) { $rem *= 10; last if exists $seen{$rem}; $seen{$rem}= length( $rep ); $rep .= int( $rem / $den ); $rem %= $den; } substr( $rep, 0, $seen{$rem} )= ''; print "$num / $den = ...$rep\n";

Sample runs:

$ perl repDig.pl 97 1 / 97 = ...010309278350515463917525773195876288659793 814432989690721649484536082474226804123711340206185567 $ perl repDig.pl 2 97 2 / 97 = ...020618556701030927835051546391752577319587 628865979381443298969072164948453608247422680412371134

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
