COMMENT

Inspired by problem 14 on the 2003 American Invitational Mathematics Examination, which asked for a(251). There are some slightly different versions of this sequence. For example, you could consider 1/2 = .5 or 1/2 = .50000...; I chose the latter interpretation here.

EXAMPLE

a(6) = 2 because 2/3 = .6...; a(24) = 6 because 6/25 = .24
