<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. Fractions represent a whole and a fractional part. Decimals represent the fractional part of numbers. For example, 1/2. Numbers in decimal are expressed with a decimal point (.), for example, 4.16666. We are going to learn how to convert this repeating decimal to a fraction.</p>

<p>Converting a repeating<a>decimal</a>to a fraction can be straightforward if you follow certain steps. Here are the steps to find the answer:</p>
9
<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Let x = 4.16666... (with 6 repeating). This can be expressed as x = 4.1̅6.</p>
9
<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Let x = 4.16666... (with 6 repeating). This can be expressed as x = 4.1̅6.</p>
10
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Multiply both sides<a>of</a>the<a>equation</a>by 10 to move the decimal point one place to the right for the repeating part: 10x = 41.6666...</p>
10
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Multiply both sides<a>of</a>the<a>equation</a>by 10 to move the decimal point one place to the right for the repeating part: 10x = 41.6666...</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Multiply both sides by 10 again to move the decimal point to the end of the repeating<a>sequence</a>: 100x = 416.6666...</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Multiply both sides by 10 again to move the decimal point to the end of the repeating<a>sequence</a>: 100x = 416.6666...</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Subtract the equation from step 2 from the equation in step 3 to eliminate the repeating part: 100x - 10x = 416.6666... - 41.6666... 90x = 375</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Subtract the equation from step 2 from the equation in step 3 to eliminate the repeating part: 100x - 10x = 416.6666... - 41.6666... 90x = 375</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Solve for x by dividing both sides by 90: x = 375/90</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Solve for x by dividing both sides by 90: x = 375/90</p>
14
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Simplify the fraction by finding the<a>greatest common divisor</a>(GCD) of 375 and 90, which is 15: 375 ÷ 15 = 25 90 ÷ 15 = 6</p>
14
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Simplify the fraction by finding the<a>greatest common divisor</a>(GCD) of 375 and 90, which is 15: 375 ÷ 15 = 25 90 ÷ 15 = 6</p>
15
<p><strong>Thus, 4.16666 can be written as the fraction 25/6.</strong></p>
