FORMULA
a(n) = floor(10^A002371(n)/prime(n)).
a(n) = 0 if and only if n = 1 or 3, corresponding to the primes 2 and 5, which are factors of 10. - Alonso del Arte, Apr 03 2020
ceiling(log_10(a(n))) = prime(n) - 1 if prime(n) is a full reptend prime (A001913). - Alonso del Arte, Apr 14 2020
EXAMPLE
1/7 = 0.142857142..., so a(4) = 142857.
1/11 = 0.09090909..., so a(5) = 9.
MATHEMATICA
