Abstract: Let $p$ be a prime and $b$ a primitive root of $p^2$. In this paper, we give an explicit formula for the number of times a value in $0,1,\mathrm{...},b-1$ occurs in the periodic part of the base $b$ expansion of $1/p^m$. As a consequence of this result, we prove two recent conjectures of Francisco Arag'on, Daivd Bailey, Jonathan Borwein, and Peter Borwein concerning the base $b$ expansion of Stoneham numbers.
