%N Interleave A172500 and A172502: The resulting sequence has the property that the fraction k(n) := a(2*n-1)/a(2*n) has decimal expansion 0.nnnnnn... .

%C The fraction k(n) = a(2*n-1)/a(2*n) is already in lowest terms.

%e k(1) = a(1)/a(2) = 1/9 = 0.1111111... with the infinite period 1 = k;

%e k(2) = a(3)/a(4) = 2/9 = 0.2222222... with the infinite period 2 = k;

%e k(3) = a(5)/a(6) = 1/3 = 0.3333333... with the infinite period 3 = k;

%e ...

%e k(12) = a(23)/a(24) = 4/33 = 0.12121212... with the infinite period 12 = k;

%e k(13) = a(25)/a(26) = 13/99 = 0.13131313... with the infinite period 13 = k;

%e k(14) = a(27)/a(28) = 14/99 = 0.14141414... with the infinite period 14 = k;

%e etc.

%e Note that the infinite period 9 is given here by the fraction 1/1 as 1/1 = 0.9999999...

%e Note also that periods like 11, or 222, or 3333... are respectively given by the fractions 1/9, 2/9, 1/3... already used for the periods 1, 2, 3...
