I did that myself,

the definition is not very elegant :-( 

Primes p such that p divides 10^n-1, p is the largest prime
producing fraction period n and p is not the largest prime
dividing 10^n-1.

13, 52579, 8779, 2161, 69857, 909090909090909091, 459691,
549797184491917, 14175966169,
which correspond with decimal fraction periods
6,   18,    22,   30,    32,          38,            42,
      46,            54,

Please check.
