How many power of 2?

0. 000001 000002 000004 000008 \large{0.\quad 000001\quad 000002\quad 000004\quad 000008 \ldots}

The Above shows the first few digits of the decimal representation of the fraction 1 999 , 998 \Large{\frac { 1 }{ 999,998 } } . If we split the digits into partitions of 6, we can see that the numbers are all powers of 2. Inclusive of 2 0 = 1 2^0=1 , how many powers of 2 can we find before the pattern breaks off?

Bonus :- Generalize for 1 1 0 k 2 {\dfrac{1}{10^k-2}} and 1 1 0 k n \dfrac{1}{10^{k}-n} , where k k and n n are positive integers.
