A number theoretical aspect of the fundamental cycle of a periodic box-ball system is investigated. Using the formulae for the fundamental cycle of a class of initial states, we point out that the asymptotic behaviour of the fundamental cycle is closely related to the celebrated Riemann hypothesis.
