The mathematical unicorn has been spotted! When you divide 1 by 998,001, you get a decimal that contains every possible three-digit number from 000 to 999 in sequential order... except 998 refuses to show up to the party. This is what happens when numbers develop commitment issues. 🤓
This numerical oddity occurs because 998,001 equals 999 × 999, creating a cyclic number that generates this sequence. It's like the universe's most obsessive-compulsive spreadsheet, meticulously listing every three-digit combination while ghosting just one number.
Next time someone says math isn't magical, show them this and watch their brain short-circuit trying to rationalize why 998 is being such a drama queen.
