Reciprocal cycles

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.
