Theorem: Period of Reciprocal of 729 is 81

The decimal expansion of the reciprocal of $729$ has $\dfrac 1 9$ the maximum period, that is, $81$:
:$\dfrac 1 {729} = 0 \cdotp \dot 00137 \, 17421 \, 12482 \, 85322 \, 35939 \, 64334 \, 70507 \, 54458 \, 16186 \, 55692 \, 72976 \, 68038 \, 40877 \, 91495 \, 19890 \, 26063 \, \dot 1$
The recurring part can be arranged in groups of $9$ digits each, revealing an interesting pattern:
{{begin-eqn}}
{{eqn | l = 001 \, 371 \, 742
      | o = 
}}
{{eqn | l = 112 \, 482 \, 853
      | o = 
}}
{{eqn | l = 223 \, 593 \, 964
      | o = 
}}
{{eqn | l = 334 \, 705 \, 075
      | o = 
}}
{{eqn | l = 445 \, 816 \, 186
      | o = 
}}
{{eqn | l = 556 \, 927 \, 297
      | o = 
}}
{{eqn | l = 668 \, 038 \, 408
      | o = 
}}
{{eqn | l = 779 \, 149 \, 519
      | o = 
}}
{{eqn | l = 890 \, 260 \, 631
      | o = 
}}
{{end-eqn}}
that is, each row (apart from the last) can be obtained from the previous one by adding $111 \, 111 \, 111$ to it.
