I checked with http://www.wolframalpha.com/
(suggested by Scilab is not naive)
and it gets
0.91510644445771896470588235294177 x 10^16
with the repeating period
647058823594117

the length of the period is itself close to the limitations of the 
double floating point representation, which make the method I proposed 
inefficient.
