Abstract/Summary
This thesis discusses some results on the period lengths of decimal expansions of reciprocals of integers for any base and Wieferich primes. It includes the Power Rule Theorem which deals with the period of the power of an odd prime. Furthermore, a computer program is designed to determine the expansion of the reciprocal of a given integer, and compute for its period.
