Example

1/A003592(2) = 1/2 = 0.5, with 1 digit after the decimal point, so a(2) = 1.

Mathematica

digNum[n_] := Length[(dig = RealDigits[1/n, 10])[[1]]] - dig[[2]]; s = {}; m = 12; Do[n = 5^k; While[n <= 5^m, AppendTo[s, n]; n *= 2], {k, 0, m}]; Rest[digNum /@ Union[s]] (* Amiram Eldar, Feb 08 2020 *)
