Cyclicity of recurrence decimals of 1/3 is 1
Cyclicity of recurrence decimals of 1/11 is 2

Cyclicity of recurrence decimals of 1/3*11 is LCM(1,2)=2

the 100th digit to the right of the decimal point of the fraction is 5

Or

\(\frac{359*6}{1650*6}\)=\(\frac{2154}{9900}\)= \([21+(\frac{75}{99})] * 10^{-2}\)= .21757575757575......

100th digit to the right of the decimal point= 5


Bunuel
If 359/1650 = 0.2175, what is the 100th digit to the right of the decimal point of the fraction?

A. 1
B. 2
C. 5
D. 7
E. 9


I did't get why do we need cyclicity of 1/33? Could you kindly elaborate?

1650= \((2*5^2)*(3*11)\)
Prime numbers except 2 and 5 give repeating decimals. Hence, we have to check the cyclicity of 1/3*11.

This is more intuitive to me if I just do the long division. You know the first 4 digits after the decimal and you just find that it repeats at 7 and 5.

rephrasing the question would be better because it feels like you already gave the answer. It should be

If 359/1650 = 0.2175........, what is the 100th digit to the right of the decimal point of the fraction?

Why is the answer not 1? The decimal representation of the fraction is already given, so why are we finding the recurring digits and then the hundredth place? I don't understand the intent of the question here. Aren't they asking "digit at hundredth place"?

It is not asking for hundredth place, but for 100th digit to right of decimal.

For example.. Hundredth place will be 2nd digit to the right of decimal.
