FORMULA
a(n) = (10^(A001913(n)-1) - 1) / A001913(n).
EXAMPLE
142857 is in the sequence because it has 6 digits and the first 6 multiples of 142857 are 142857, 285714, 428571, 571428, 714285, and 857142, all cyclic permutations of the number. Also the first term of A001913 is 7, and 1/7 = 0.142857142857... .
588235294117647 is the next number because 0588235294117647 has 16 digits and the first 16 multiples are cyclic permutations of the number; the second term of A001913 is 17, and 1/17 = 0.05882352941176470588235294117647... .
