COMMENTS

Note the strange resemblance to the Fibonacci numbers (A000045). In fact 1/89 = sum (Fibonacci(i)/10^(i+1)). (In the same way, the Lucas numbers sum up to 120/89) - Johan Claes (Johan.Claes(AT)luc.ac.be), Jun 11 2004

In the Red Zen reference, the decimal expansion of 1/89 and its relation to the Fibonacci sequence is discussed; also primes of the form Floor(1/89 * 10^n) are given for n = 3, 5 and 631. - Jason Earls (zevi_35711(AT)yahoo.com), May 28 2007

The 44-digit cycle 1,0,1,1,2,3,5,9,5,5,0,5,6,1,7,9,7,7,5,2,8,0,8,9,8,8,7,6,4, 0,4,4,9,4,3,8,2,0,2,4,4,7,1,9 in this sequence and the others based on eighty-ninths, gives the successive digits of the smallest integer which is multiplied by nine when the final digit is moved from the right hand end to the left hand end. - Ian Duff (ianfduff(AT)yahoo.co.uk), Jan 09 2009

Generalization:

  1/89 = sum (Fibonacci(i)/10^(i+1)), (this sequence)

  1/9899 = sum (Fibonacci(i)/100^(i+1)),

  1/998999 = sum (Fibonacci(i)/1000^(i+1)),

  1/99989999 = sum (Fibonacci(i)/10000^(i+1)), ... - Daniel Forgues, Oct 28, 2011

Generalization:

  1/89 = sum (11^i/100^(i+1)), i >= 0, (this sequence)

  1/989 = sum (11^i/1000^(i+1)), i >= 0,

  1/9989 = sum (11^i/10000^(i+1)), i >= 0, ... - Daniel Forgues, Oct 28, 2011
