Quote:My guess is that using 10^Q would produce poor values.

These numbers fulfill the three requirements of the Hull-Dobell Theorem:

1. c = 1017980433 and m = 10000000000 are relatively prime
2. a - 1 = 1574352260 is divisible by all prime factors of m = 10000000000: 2 and 5
3. a - 1 = 1574352260 = 4*393588065 is a multiple of 4 if m = 10000000000 is a multiple of 4.
   

Thus we can conclude to have maximal period.
