Print first k digits of 1/n where n is a positive integer

Given a positive integer n, print first k digits after point in value of 1/n. Your program should avoid overflow and floating point arithmetic.
Examples : 
 

Input:   n = 3, k = 3
Output:  333

Input:   n = 50, k = 4
Output:  0200

We strongly recommend to minimize the browser and try this yourself first.
Let us consider an example n = 7, k = 3. The first digit of 1/7 is ‘1’, it can be obtained by doing integer value of 10/7. Remainder of 10/7 is 3. Next digit is 4 which can be obtained by taking integer value of 30/7. Remainder of 30/7 is 2. Next digits is 2 which can be obtained by taking integer value of 20/7 
 

C++




#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to print first k digits after dot in value
// of 1/n.  n is assumed to be a positive integer.
void print(int n, int k)
{
   int rem = 1; // Initialize remainder
 
   // Run a loop k times to print k digits
   for (int i = 0; i < k; i++)
   {
         // The next digit can always be obtained as
         // doing (10*rem)/10
         cout << (10 * rem) / n;
 
         // Update remainder
         rem = (10*rem) % n;
   }
}
 
// Driver program to test above function
int main()
{
    int n = 7, k = 3;
    print(n, k);
    cout << endl;
 
    n = 21, k = 4;
    print(n, k);
 
    return 0;
}
