COMMENTS

The length of the period is the number of digits of a(n): 1, 1, 3, 9, 27, 81, ... The terms a(n) are more precisely the integers made from the digits of a period, starting with the first nonzero digit. - M. F. Hasler, Apr 23 2021

FORMULA
|
a(n) = floor(10^(3^max(n-2,0)+L(3^n))/3^n) where L(m) = floor(log10(m)). - M. F. Hasler, Apr 23 2021

EXAMPLE
|
1/3^3 = 0.0370370370..., hence a(3) = 370.
