Abstract
In this paper I make the following observation: let P be a 3-Poulet number, d its least prime factor and q one of the other two prime factors; then the length of the period of the rational number P/d + d/P is for almost any P equal to q – 1 or equal to (q – 1)/n or equal to (q – 1)*n, where n positive integer.
