The number 142857 has the curious property that, if it is multiplied by any number from 1 to 6, the result is a number with the same digits in the same order (a cyclic permutation).

For example, 142857 × 3 = 428571.

This property is closely related to the facts that

1/7 = 142857/999999

and that 1/7 expressed as a decimal is

0.142857142857142857142857142857...

Investigating the number 142857 can lead a student into an understanding of repeating decimals and rational numbers.
