Is there a method to figure out how many decimal places there are for a recurring decimal?

$\begingroup$

For example, like for 1/7 = 0.14285714285. 142857 is repeated in this recurring decimal, and those 6 decimal places are repeated. So is there a method to figure out how many decimal places there are in certain recurring decimals?
