<p>Numbers can be categorized into different types. A fraction is one such type. 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 example, 18.6666. We are going to learn how to convert a decimal to a fraction.</p>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Firstly, any decimal<a>number</a>should be considered. Here, 18.6666 is a repeating decimal. To handle<a>repeating decimals</a>, let x = 18.6666...</p>
10
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Multiply both sides by 10 to shift the decimal point one place to the right. 10x = 186.6666...</p>
10
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Multiply both sides by 10 to shift the decimal point one place to the right. 10x = 186.6666...</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Subtract the original x from this<a>equation</a>to eliminate the repeating part. 10x - x = 186.6666... - 18.6666... 9x = 168</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Subtract the original x from this<a>equation</a>to eliminate the repeating part. 10x - x = 186.6666... - 18.6666... 9x = 168</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Solve for x by dividing both sides by 9. x = 168/9</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Solve for x by dividing both sides by 9. x = 168/9</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Simplify the fraction. The GCD of 168 and 9 is 3. 168/9 ÷ 3/3 = 56/3</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Simplify the fraction. The GCD of 168 and 9 is 3. 168/9 ÷ 3/3 = 56/3</p>
14
<p>Hence, 18.6666 can be written as the fraction 56/3.</p>
14
<p>Hence, 18.6666 can be written as the fraction 56/3.</p>
