<p>Numbers can be categorized into different types. Fraction is one of its kind. It is always represented in the form of p/q, where p is the numerator and q is the denominator. Fraction represents a whole and a fractional part. Decimals represent the fractional part of numbers. For example, 1/2, the numbers in decimal are expressed with a decimal point (.), For example, 8.66666, we are going to learn how to convert a decimal to a fraction.</p>

<p>Converting a repeating<a>decimal</a>to a fraction can be done by following a few steps. Below are the steps to find the answer.</p>
9
<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Let x = 8.66666... (This is a repeating decimal where 6 repeats).</p>
9
<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Let x = 8.66666... (This is a repeating decimal where 6 repeats).</p>
10
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Multiply both sides by 10 to shift the decimal point: 10x = 86.66666...</p>
10
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Multiply both sides by 10 to shift the decimal point: 10x = 86.66666...</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Subtract the original<a>equation</a>from the new equation to eliminate the repeating part: 10x - x = 86.66666... - 8.66666... 9x = 78</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Subtract the original<a>equation</a>from the new equation to eliminate the repeating part: 10x - x = 86.66666... - 8.66666... 9x = 78</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Solve for x by dividing both sides by 9: x = 78/9</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Solve for x by dividing both sides by 9: x = 78/9</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Simplify the fraction 78/9 by finding the GCD, which is 3: 78/9 = (78 ÷ 3)/(9 ÷ 3) = 26/3</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Simplify the fraction 78/9 by finding the GCD, which is 3: 78/9 = (78 ÷ 3)/(9 ÷ 3) = 26/3</p>
14
<p><strong>Thus, 8.66666 can be written as a fraction 26/3.</strong></p>
14
<p><strong>Thus, 8.66666 can be written as a fraction 26/3.</strong></p>
