Infinite division does not require big numbers, which Ada 22 has, but I
wound not use them anyway because the performance would be abysmal.
BTW, Ada is perfect for numeric algorithms no need to resort to
functional mess... (:-))
The problem itself requires as you said mathematical analysis, because a
naive method of comparing partial division result with itself is
obviously wrong. E.g. let you have
0.12341234...
you could not conclude that the period is (1234) because it could
actually be (123412345).
