* Rename all Project Euler directories: Reason: The change was done to maintain consistency throughout the directory and to keep all directories in sorted order. Due to the above change, some config files had to be modified: 'problem_22` -> `problem_022` * Update scripts to pad zeroes in PE directories

Euler Problem 26

https://projecteuler.net/problem=26

Problem Statement:
|
|
|
|
A unit fraction contains 1 in the numerator. The decimal representation of the
|
|
unit fractions with denominators 2 to 10 are given:
|
|
|
|
1/2 = 0.5
|
|
1/3 = 0.(3)
|
|
1/4 = 0.25
|
|
1/5 = 0.2
|
|
1/6 = 0.1(6)
|
|
1/7 = 0.(142857)
|
|
1/8 = 0.125
|
|
1/9 = 0.(1)
|
|
1/10 = 0.1
|
|
Where 0.1(6) means 0.166666..., and has a 1-digit recurring cycle. It can be
|
|
seen that 1/7 has a 6-digit recurring cycle.
|
|
|
|
Find the value of d < 1000 for which 1/d contains the longest recurring cycle
|
|
in its decimal fraction part.
