<p>Numbers can be categorized into different types. A 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. A 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 instance, 5.33333333333. We are going to learn how to convert this repeating decimal to a fraction.</p>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Let x = 5.33333333333...</p>
9
<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Let x = 5.33333333333...</p>
10
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Multiply both sides by 10 to shift the decimal point one place to the right, resulting in 10x = 53.3333333333...</p>
10
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Multiply both sides by 10 to shift the decimal point one place to the right, resulting in 10x = 53.3333333333...</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Subtract the original<a>equation</a>from this new equation to eliminate the repeating decimal part: 10x - x = 53.3333333333... - 5.33333333333... This simplifies to: 9x = 48</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Subtract the original<a>equation</a>from this new equation to eliminate the repeating decimal part: 10x - x = 53.3333333333... - 5.33333333333... This simplifies to: 9x = 48</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Solve for x by dividing both sides by 9: x = 48/9</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Solve for x by dividing both sides by 9: x = 48/9</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Simplify the fraction 48/9 by dividing both the<a>numerator and denominator</a>by their GCD, which is 3: 48/9 = 16/3</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Simplify the fraction 48/9 by dividing both the<a>numerator and denominator</a>by their GCD, which is 3: 48/9 = 16/3</p>
14
<p><strong>Thus, 5.33333333333 can be written as a fraction 16/3.</strong></p>
