Write period_length(a, b) for whole numbers a≥0a \ge 0 and b>0b > 0. Do long division: start with the remainder a % b, and at each step replace the remainder r by (10 * r) % b. Remember the step at which each remainder first appears. Return the length of the repeating block of ab\tfrac ab, or 0 if the decimal terminates (that is, if the remainder 0 appears).
