There is a bizarre pattern hidden inside the fraction 1/998,001. Its decimal expansion begins with 000, 001, 002, 003, 004, 005 and continues in order through the three digit numbers, reaching 996, 997 and then jumping to 999. The only three digit number missing is 998. The sequence then repeats because the decimal is recurring, with a period of 2,997 digits. The reason is that 998,001 is exactly 999², creating a mathematical structure that produces these consecutive three digit blocks.
