Fractions with prime denominator written in decimal have a curious property described by Midy’s Theorem, namely that two halves of their period (if it is of even length ) sum up to . A number of results generalise Midy’s theorem to expansions of in different integer bases, considering non-prime denominators, or dividing the period into more than two parts. We show that a similar phenomena can be studied even in the context of numeration systems with non-integer bases, as introduced by Rényi. First we define the Midy property for a general real base and derive a necessary condition for validity of the Midy property. For we characterize prime denominators , which satisfy the property.
