THE VEDIC MATHEMETICS
USING DIVISION TO CALCULATE 1/9
We start with 1 (dividend of "1/x9"), dividing by 2 (" x + 1 "). We divide 1 by 2, answer is 0 with remainder 1
Other fractions can sometimes be converted into the format of "d/x9"; as another example, consider 1/7, this is the same as 7/49 which has 9 as the last digit of the denominator. The previous digit is 4, by one more is 5. So we multiply (or divide) by 5, that is:
…7 → 57 → 857 → 2857 → 42857 → 142857 → .142,857 (stop after 7 − 1 digits)

result .0
Next 10 divided by 2 is five
.05
Next 5 divided by 2 is 2 with remainder 1
.052
next 12 (remainder,2) divided by 2 is 6
