try 1/(998001)



Edit:in fact try 1/(999.....9)^2

the decimals will allways be every single number with N digits, (where N is the number of nines) exept for the one before last

in fact in your example 3^4 is 9^2

therefore it repeats eveysingle 1 digit number: ".012345679" exept for 8 because its the one before last

in the example i gave it will go 0.000001002003004.... 996997999 and repeat

Correction: .012345679(this sequence repeated infinitely)

if you do the division as 1/9 x .11111.... it is very pretty.
