Now our job is to get the entire part that repeats on the left of the decimal point. If we multiply the number by 1000 exactly one 2, one 3 and one 4 will move to the left.
So 1000n = 234.234... now lets remove our original number -<u> n = -.234...</u> Notice how all the repeaters minus all the repeaters 999n = 234 leaves only the 234 that we move to the left of the decimal point Now lets divide both side by 999 <u>999n </u> = <u>234 </u>999 999 this is the answer in unreduced form 9 can go into both =<u>26</u><u> </u> 111 <u /> Try it on your calculator (divide 26 by 111)
