<p>Numbers can be categorized into different types. A fraction is one of its kinds. It is always represented in the form of p/q, where p is the numerator and q is the denominator. A 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, 0.16666. We are going to learn how to convert a decimal to a fraction.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Let x = 0.16666... Since the decimal repeats every 5 digits, multiply by 100000 to shift the decimal point to the right: 100000x = 16666.666...</p>
10
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Let x = 0.16666... Since the decimal repeats every 5 digits, multiply by 100000 to shift the decimal point to the right: 100000x = 16666.666...</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Subtract the original<a>equation</a>(x = 0.16666...) from this new equation: 100000x - x = 16666.666... - 0.16666...</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Subtract the original<a>equation</a>(x = 0.16666...) from this new equation: 100000x - x = 16666.666... - 0.16666...</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>This gives 99999x = 16666.5. Solving this gives x = 16666.5 / 99999.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>This gives 99999x = 16666.5. Solving this gives x = 16666.5 / 99999.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Simplify the fraction: After simplification, x = 1/6.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Simplify the fraction: After simplification, x = 1/6.</p>
14
<p><strong>Thus, 0.16666... can be written as the fraction 1/6.</strong></p>
