Favorite Number

Van and I talked about numbers the other day.
He had me write numbers 1 to 100 and we talked about infinity and going from 1 to 1,000,000,000 by multiplying by ten. I don't know if any of it sank in, but ultimately he wanted to know which number was my favorite.
Which is of course
0.142857

I found this awesome number doing my Statics homework
            ______
1/7 = 0.142857

Which by itself was cool because 1428 was part of my phone number growing up.

But then I figured out that 2/7, 3/7, 4/7, 5/7 and 6/7 are all a version of this repeating number, just starting at a different place.

2/7 = 0.2857142857142
3/7 = 0.4285714285714
4/7 = 0.5714285714285
5/7 = 0.7142857142857
6/7 = 0.8571428571428

Which was the greatest thing I had ever seen. Then a quick search will tell you that people have figured out even more cool things about the number.

I don't know what's going on there, but I like it.
