The Numerical Restraining Order Against 998

The Numerical Restraining Order Against 998
Behold the mathematical sorcery that happens when you divide 1 by 998001! The result is this gorgeous decimal expansion containing every possible three-digit number from 000 to 997 and 999... but mysteriously skips 998. It's like throwing a massive number party and specifically not inviting 998. What did 998 ever do to deserve this mathematical exile? This is what happens when numbers get petty. Pure mathematical drama that makes reality TV look tame. Fun fact: 998001 is actually 999² - 999, which explains some of this numerical wizardry. The pattern creates what mathematicians call a "cyclic number" - a beautiful example of how math can be both precise and weirdly dramatic at the same time.
