Dec 18, 2017 at 0:32 comment added JungHwan Min @kasperd The zero (ones place) in 0.(90) isn't significant, so including it in the repeating sequence wouldn't really make sense.
Dec 17, 2017 at 21:57 comment added kasperd @JungHwanMin There is an infinite number of rational numbers between 0 and 1 for which the question would also apply. I think the simplest example would be 10/11.

Dec 17, 2017 at 18:39 comment added JungHwan Min @MishaLavrov alternatively, you could specify that all inputs will be between 0 and 1. (It should only affect the 2017/1 case)

Dec 17, 2017 at 15:14 comment added Misha Lavrov @kasperd Huh, that's a case I hadn't thought of... I'd want to say 111/11 except that the most highly upvoted answer at the moment returns 210/11, so I will let you pick to avoid invalidating existing answers.
Dec 17, 2017 at 15:11 comment added Misha Lavrov @user202729 You may assume that the input is a fully simplified rational number.
Dec 17, 2017 at 13:04 comment added kasperd If input is 120/11 is the correct answer 111/11 or 210/11?

Dec 17, 2017 at 7:25 comment added user202729 May the input be reducible (not fully simplified)? For example, can 2/4 happen in the input?

Dec 17, 2017 at 1:19 comment added Misha Lavrov Yes, if you're doing the rational number thing. (If you're doing the pair-of-integers thing, then I'm not sure what else you'd return except the pair (2017,1).)
Dec 17, 2017 at 1:13 comment added JungHwan Min Can we return 2017 instead of 2017/1?
