Let me start with the famous cyclic number 142857.
This is the period in the reciprocal of the prime number 7.viz when you attempt finding the reciprocal these 6 numbers get repeated.
When you start multiplying this number with 3,you get 428571,i.e the digit 1 at the left end moving to the right the other digits remaining undisturbed.When you now multiply the number with 2 you get 285714 the digit 2 also similarly moving.Similar multiplications with 6,4 and 5 you get 857142,571428 and 714285 again with similar continuous movements.More funny details in my next post.
