142857 x 1 = 142857 142857 x 2 = 285714 142857 x 3 = 428571 142857 x 4 = 571428 and so on and so on until.. 142857 x 7 = 999999 and then.. when it you thought it was unique enough. 142857 x 8 = 1142856 (1 + 142856 = 142857) so you can try any number.. 142857 x 152 = 21714264 (21 + 714264 = 142857)
seeing this post reminded me of that number, which reminded me of my kooky old math teacher.
There are some more info on wikipedia:

142857 x 1 = 142857
142857 x 2 = 285714
142857 x 3 = 428571
142857 x 4 = 571428
and so on and so on until..
142857 x 7 = 999999
and then.. when it you thought it was unique enough.
142857 x 8 = 1142856 (1 + 142856 = 142857)
so you can try any number..
142857 x 152 = 21714264 (21 + 714264 = 142857)
