I don't know if anyone knows about this, but there are these numbers called Grafting numbers.
Now a number that appears within the first digits of its square root is all fine and dandy, but I went to find the numbers that appear within the first fifty digits of its square root (up to 10 million). The result quite surprised me, I was expecting a couple in the thousands, but even seemingly random numbers in the millions repeat in the early decimal places. So what I'm thinking, there might be a regularity in how square roots (which are mostly said to be irrational numbers without repetition) actually DO repeat in base 10. It could also be a single moment at which the number appears in its decimals, but that's regularity nontheless. Here are the numbers with square roots that contain the original number (Big list): "Digit" is the digit at which the number repeats in the root In case you're questioning my method of acquiring these numbers, here's the Java code I made I'm not a highly schooled mathematician, I actually failed high school (not because of math, but because of biology). Maybe someone more bright can figure out the regularity. P.S: Trying to make a square root method for BigDecimal, so I can get up to 100 decimals. ----- Edit v1: Changed the code, max digits got inaccurate, narrowed it down to 40. Changed the println into a printf to make the results in the spoiler more synoptic. Edit v2: Got to run the program again, apparently it's "sqrt.indexOf(x.toString())+1;"
