<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, 0.857142857, we are going to learn how to convert a decimal to a fraction.</p>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Let x = 0.857142857... Notice that the decimal part 857142 repeats indefinitely.</p>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Let x = 0.857142857... Notice that the decimal part 857142 repeats indefinitely.</p>
10
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>To eliminate the repeating part, multiply x by 1000000 (since there are 6 repeating digits), giving: 1000000x = 857142.857142857...</p>
10
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>To eliminate the repeating part, multiply x by 1000000 (since there are 6 repeating digits), giving: 1000000x = 857142.857142857...</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Subtract the original<a>equation</a>(x = 0.857142857...) from this new equation: 1000000x - x = 857142.857142857... - 0.857142857... 999999x = 857142</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Subtract the original<a>equation</a>(x = 0.857142857...) from this new equation: 1000000x - x = 857142.857142857... - 0.857142857... 999999x = 857142</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Solve for x by dividing both sides by 999999: x = 857142/999999 Step 5: Simplify the fraction by dividing the<a>numerator</a>and the<a>denominator</a>by their<a>greatest common divisor</a>, which is 142857: 857142/999999 = 6/7</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Solve for x by dividing both sides by 999999: x = 857142/999999 Step 5: Simplify the fraction by dividing the<a>numerator</a>and the<a>denominator</a>by their<a>greatest common divisor</a>, which is 142857: 857142/999999 = 6/7</p>
13
<p><strong>Thus, 0.857142857 can be written as a fraction 6/7.</strong></p>
