Question 92

Call a rational number short if it has finitely many digits in its decimal expansion. For a positive integer $m$, we say that a positive integer $t$ is $m$-tastic if there exists a number $c \in \{1,2,3, \ldots, 2017\}$ such that $\frac{10^{t}-1}{c \cdot m}$ is short, and such that $\frac{10^{k}-1}{c \cdot m}$ is not short for any $1 \leqslant k \lt t$. Let $S(m)$ be the set of $m$-tastic numbers. Consider $S(m)$ for $m=1,2, \ldots$. What is the maximum number of elements in $S(m)$ ?
