<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, 2.857142857, we are going to learn how to convert a decimal to a fraction.</p>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Firstly, let's recognize that 2.857142857 is a repeating decimal. We can express it as 2 + 0.857142857...</p>
10
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Notice that 0.857142857... is a repeating decimal with a cycle<a>of</a>6 digits (857142). To convert it to a fraction, let's denote x = 0.857142857...</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Notice that 0.857142857... is a repeating decimal with a cycle<a>of</a>6 digits (857142). To convert it to a fraction, let's denote x = 0.857142857...</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Multiply x by 1,000,000 to shift the decimal point by 6 places: 1000000x = 857142.857142...</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Multiply x by 1,000,000 to shift the decimal point by 6 places: 1000000x = 857142.857142...</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Subtract x from 1000000x to eliminate the repeating part: 1000000x - x = 857142.857142... - 0.857142857... 999999x = 857142</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Subtract x from 1000000x to eliminate the repeating part: 1000000x - x = 857142.857142... - 0.857142857... 999999x = 857142</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Solve for x: x = 857142/999999</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Solve for x: x = 857142/999999</p>
14
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Simplify the fraction by finding the GCD of 857142 and 999999, which is 142857: x = 857142 ÷ 142857 / 999999 ÷ 142857 = 6/7</p>
14
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Simplify the fraction by finding the GCD of 857142 and 999999, which is 142857: x = 857142 ÷ 142857 / 999999 ÷ 142857 = 6/7</p>
15
<p><strong>Step 7:</strong>Therefore, 2.857142857 = 2 + 6/7 = (14 + 6)/7 = 20/7</p>
15
<p><strong>Step 7:</strong>Therefore, 2.857142857 = 2 + 6/7 = (14 + 6)/7 = 20/7</p>
16
<p><strong>Thus, 2.857142857 can be written as a fraction 20/7.</strong></p>
16
<p><strong>Thus, 2.857142857 can be written as a fraction 20/7.</strong></p>
