<p>Numbers can be categorized into different types. Fractions are one such type. A fraction 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. Numbers in decimal are expressed with a decimal point (.), For example, 8.16666, we are going to learn how to convert a decimal to a fraction.</p>

10
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Let x = 8.16666... (where 6 is repeating). Then, multiply by 10 to shift the decimal point and separate the repeating part: 10x = 81.6666...</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Let x = 8.16666... (where 6 is repeating). Then, multiply by 10 to shift the decimal point and separate the repeating part: 10x = 81.6666...</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Multiply by 10 again to align repeating parts: 100x = 816.6666...</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Multiply by 10 again to align repeating parts: 100x = 816.6666...</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Subtract the first<a>equation</a>from the second to eliminate the repeating decimal: 100x - 10x = 816.6666... - 81.6666... 90x = 735</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Subtract the first<a>equation</a>from the second to eliminate the repeating decimal: 100x - 10x = 816.6666... - 81.6666... 90x = 735</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Solve for x: x = 735/90</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Solve for x: x = 735/90</p>
14
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Simplify the fraction by finding the GCD<a>of</a>735 and 90, which is 15: 735/90 = 49/6</p>

<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Simplify the fraction by finding the GCD<a>of</a>735 and 90, which is 15: 735/90 = 49/6</p>
15
<p><strong>Thus, 8.16666 can be written as a fraction 49/6.</strong></p>
