I am a big fan of Project Euler also. Fun stuff.

You're probably right, but it's not clear from your description (to me
anyway), what your understanding of the question is.

Perhaps it would be helpful to look at the next few values of d, as
defined by the question (note: the parens enclose the repeating pattern):

"""
1.0/11 = 0.(09)
1.0/12 = 0.08(3)
1.0/13 = 0.(076923)
1.0/14 = 0.0(714285)
1.0/15 = 0.0(6)
1.0/16 = 0.0625
1.0/17 = 0.(0588235294117647)
"""

No spoilers there, hopefully :)

Have fun!
