❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What does the circle show?
The circle is divided into 7 equal sections. As you rotate around the circle, you can see how each fraction (1/7, 2/7, 3/7...) maps to its decimal representation.
Why does the pattern have 6 digits?
When dividing 1 by 7, you get a remainder each time. Since there are only 6 possible non-zero remainders (1-6), the pattern must repeat after 6 digits.
