Answer

The final answer will be the output of the code.

Steps

Step 1 :The length of the repeat of the decimal expansion of a fraction 1/n is related to the order of 10 modulo n. The delay before the repeat is related to the number of times we can divide n by 2 and 5.

Step 2 :We will calculate these values for the fractions 1/275 and 1/56.

Step 3 :Use the provided code to calculate the period and delay for the decimal expansions of 1/275 and 1/56.

Step 4 :Observe the output of the code and verify if the results are as expected.

Step 5 :The final answer will be the output of the code.
