This is the second part of the Amazing Number Patterns series. The pattern involves multiplication of 142 857 by 1 through 6. The products are just rearranged digits of that number. You may want to check out the first part of the series.

142 857 x 1 = 142 857

142 857 x 2 = 285 714

142 857 x 3 = 428 571

142 857 x 4 = 571 428

142 857 x 5 = 714 285

142 857 x 6 = 857 142

If we square 142 857, we have 20408122449, and 20408+122449 = 142 857.

    The integer number 142857 is the period of the repeating decimal 1/7. It is called a cyclic number because of the property shown above. Are there other cyclic numbers? Are they periods of other repeating decimals? The property of being cyclic is not a "quantity" property (as the property of beeing prime), because it is base dependant, in other words the repeating decimal 1/7 represented in another base is not necessarily a repeating decimal.
