COMMENTS
The period of 1/k is the least integer p such that 10^p = 1 (mod k). The integer p is also known as the multiplicative order of 10 (mod k).

EXAMPLE
p(k) is the period of 1/k, we obtain with k=3,11,27,41,73,53,43,103 p(3)=1,p(11)=2,p(27)=3,p(41)=5,p(73)=8, p(53)=13,p(43)=21, p(103)=34
MAPLE
For the great numbers (p > 70), the maple program is very slow. That's what we use an process of two steps: factoring 10^p-1 with elliptic curve method (see the first web site), and then, for each factor q(k), k=1, 2, ..., r computation the periods of 1/q(k) and keep the period q(i) such that q(i) = Fibonacci number. The 17th term required 3h 2m for the computing of (10^1597) -1 T:=array(0..100); U:=array(0..100); n0:=0:n1:=1:T[1] = 1:for i from 2 to 30 do: n2:=n0+n1:T[i]:=n2:n0:=n1:n1:=n2:od:U[1]:=3:U[2]:=3:for q from 3 to 10 do: p0:=T[q]: indic:=0:for n from 1 to 2000 do:for p from 1 to 150 while(irem(10^p, n)<>1 or gcd(n, 10)<>1 ) do:od: if irem(10^p, n) = 1 and gcd(n, 10) = 1 and p=p0 and indic=0 then U[q]:=n:indic:=1:else fi:od: od: for n from 1 to 10 do:print( U[n]):od:
