where b is the number base (10 for decimal), and p is a prime that does not divide b. (Primes p that give cyclic numbers in base b are called full reptend primes or long primes in base b). For example, the case b = 10, p = 7 gives the cyclic number 142857, and the case b = 12, p = 5 gives the cyclic number 2497.
The cyclic number corresponding to prime p will possess p − 1 digits if and only if p is a full reptend prime. That is, the multiplicative order ord p b = p − 1, which is equivalent to b being a primitive root modulo p. The term "long prime" was used by John Conway and Richard Guy in their Book of Numbers.
A full reptend prime, full repetend prime, proper prime [7]: 166 or long prime in base b is an odd prime number p such that the Fermat quotient = (where p does not divide b) gives a cyclic number with p − 1 digits.
The multiple is thus the repeating digits of the fraction 3 ⁄ F, say b***a. In order for this cyclic permutation to take place, then 3 shall be the next remainder in the long division for 1 ⁄ F. Thus F shall be 7 as 1 × 10 ÷ 7 gives remainder 3. This yields the results that: X = the repeating digits of 1 ⁄ 7 =142857, and
A cyclic number [1] [2] is a natural number n such that n and φ(n) are coprime. Here φ is Euler's totient function. An equivalent definition is that a number n is cyclic if and only if any group of order n is cyclic. [3] Any prime number is clearly cyclic. All cyclic numbers are square-free. [4] Let n = p 1 p 2 …
A number n is called a cyclic number if Z/nZ is the only group of order n, which is true exactly when gcd(n, φ(n)) = 1. [13] The sequence of cyclic numbers include all primes, but some are composite such as 15. However, all cyclic numbers are odd except 2. The cyclic numbers are:
"A base is a natural number B whose powers (B multiplied by itself some number of times) are specially designated within a numerical system." [1]: 38 The term is not equivalent to radix, as it applies to all numerical notation systems (not just positional ones with a radix) and most systems of spoken numbers. [1]
In French, this is true up to 16. In a number of other languages (such as Hebrew), the names of the numbers from 11 to 19 contain two words, but one of these words is a special "teen" form, which is different from the ordinary form of the word for the number 10, and it may in fact be only found in these names of the numbers 11–19.
