Distribution of digits in fractions

This article examines the repeating decimal patterns in fractions k/p where p is a prime greater than 5. It demonstrates that for a given prime denominator, digits may form cycles that vary by cyclic permutations or distinct repeating sets. Using Python code, it shows examples with denominators 13 and 41, and discusses a theorem about digit frequency distribution. The content is mathematical and directly related to number theory and programming, making it relevant to IT/TECHNOLOGY.
