COMMENTS

A positive integer x is called k-transposable if when the leftmost digit is moved into the units place, the result is equal to kx.

A number is 1-transposable iff its digits are all the same.

Kahan shows that if k>1 then k must be 3 and the only solutions are concatenations of copies of either 142857 or 285714, as given in this sequence, which therefore lists all k-transposable numbers with k>1.
