Project Euler task 26

A unit fraction contains 1 in the numerator. The decimal representation of the unit fractions with denominators 2 to 10 are given:

1/2= 0.5
1/3= 0.(3)
1/4= 0.25
1/5= 0.2
1/6= 0.1(6)
1/7= 0.(142857)
1/8= 0.125
1/9= 0.(1)
1/10= 0.1

Where 0.1(6) means 0.166666..., and has a 1-digit recurring cycle. It can be seen that 1/7 has a 6-digit recurring cycle.

Find the value of d < 1000 for which 1/d contains the longest recurring cycle in its decimal fraction part.

using namespace std;

int cycle(int _n) {
unsigned long long int num = 10;
int arr[1000];

for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
int d = num / _n; // integer
int r = num % _n; // remainder
if (r == 0)
return 0;
arr[i] = r;
for (int j = 0; j < i; j++)
if (arr[j] == r)
return (i - j);

num = r * 10;
}

return 0;
}

int main() {
int iMax = 0;
int iMaxNum = 0;
for (int i = 1; i < 1000; i++) {
int iTemp = cycle(i);
if (iTemp > iMax) {
iMax = iTemp;
iMaxNum = i;
}
}

cout << iMaxNum << " " << iMax << endl;

return 0;
}
