<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, 0.85714286, we are going to learn how to convert a decimal to a fraction.</p>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Firstly, recognize that 0.85714286 is a repeating decimal. The repeating<a>sequence</a>is "857142."</p>
10
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Let x = 0.85714286. Multiply x by 1000000 (since the repeating block is 6 digits long) to shift the decimal point: 1000000x = 857142.85714286</p>
10
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Let x = 0.85714286. Multiply x by 1000000 (since the repeating block is 6 digits long) to shift the decimal point: 1000000x = 857142.85714286</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Subtract the original<a>number</a>from this<a>equation</a>to eliminate the repeating part: 1000000x - x = 857142.85714286 - 0.85714286 999999x = 857142</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Subtract the original<a>number</a>from this<a>equation</a>to eliminate the repeating part: 1000000x - x = 857142.85714286 - 0.85714286 999999x = 857142</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Solve for x by dividing both sides by 999999: x = 857142/999999</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Solve for x by dividing both sides by 999999: x = 857142/999999</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Simplify the fraction by finding the GCD<a>of</a>857142 and 999999, which is 142857, and divide both<a>numerator and denominator</a>by this GCD: 857142/999999 = 6/7</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Simplify the fraction by finding the GCD<a>of</a>857142 and 999999, which is 142857, and divide both<a>numerator and denominator</a>by this GCD: 857142/999999 = 6/7</p>
14
<p><strong>Thus, 0.85714286 can be written as a fraction 6/7.</strong></p>
