<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Subtract the original x from this<a>equation</a>to eliminate the repeating part: 1,000,000x - x = 1714285.714285... - 1.71428571429... 999,999x = 1714284</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Solve for x: x = 1714284/999999</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Solve for x: x = 1714284/999999</p>
14
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Simplify the fraction. The<a>greatest common divisor</a>(GCD) of 1714284 and 999999 is 142857. Divide both the<a>numerator</a>and the<a>denominator</a>by 142857: 1714284/999999 = 12/7</p>
