This Demonstration shows the first 10 cyclic numbers.

A cyclic number with digits is such that its digits are shifted cyclically when multiplied by an integer up to . For example, with , ; multiplying by 6 shifts the digits of by three places: . The decimal representation of the reciprocal of has a period of maximum length . So .

For , leading zeros are needed for . For example, the second cyclic number (which comes from ) is the integer .

The first 10 values of that produce maximum period decimal expansions (with digits) for are the reptend primes 7, 17, 19, 23, 29, 47, 59, 61, 97 and 109 [1, pp. 171–175].
