1/37= .027 027 027 027....     every multiple of 3 is a 7   291 is a  multiple of 3      the 291st digit is 7

If you put 1/37 into a calculator, you get \(0.\overline{027} \), so every third digit will be a 7.

291 mod 3 results in 0, meaning that 291 is divisible by 3, so the 291st digit will be 7.
