34/41 = 0.82926 82926 82926 ... = 0.\overline{82926}.

(Long division: 34 → 340/41 = 8 r12 → 120/41 = 2 r38 → 380/41 = 9 r11 → 110/41 = 2 r28 → 280/41 = 6 r34, cycle repeats.)

A simple fraction whose decimal has a 6-digit repeating block is 1/7 = 0.\overline{142857} (also 1/13 = 0.\overline{076923}, etc.).
