Mistake

The digits $147852$ in various orders that are not permutations of the period of $1/7$ occur in several other products also.


Correction

Technically, $147852$ is a permutation of the period of $1/7$ -- just not a cyclic permutation of it.


So this should read:

The digits $147852$ in various orders that are not cyclic permutations of the period of $1/7$ occur in several other products also.
