    > "Base 360 (2⁵ × 3² × 5 × 7) is divisible by all integers from 1 to 12, so common fractions like 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/7, 1/8, 1/9, 1/10, 1/11, and 1/12 all terminate cleanly with no repeating digits."

    Except neither 7 nor 11 is a factor of 360 and "(2⁵ × 3² × 5 × 7)" doesn't evaluate to 360.

    Ah, so this is just AI slop. Apparently people have descended from vibe coding to vibe writing now.

    try 1/7 in base 336 that is my favorite representation.
