Solution :-
We need to find the number of digits in the recurring block of \( \frac{1}{17}\).
Let us perform the long division to get the recurring block of \( \frac{1}{17}\).
We need to divide 1 by 17, to get
We can observe that while dividing 1 by 17 we get 16 number of digits in the repeating block of decimal expansion which will continue to be 1 after carrying out 16 continuous divisions.
Therefore, we conclude that \( \frac{1}{17}\) = 0.0588235294117647..... or \( \frac{1}{17}\) = \( 0.\overline{0588235294117647}\), which is a non-terminating and recurring decimal.
