If the repeat does not start at the decimal point, the conversion can be done as follows.
For a number x with a decimal fraction that has n digits repeating, multiply by 10^n, subtract x and then divide by (10^n -1).
The fraction will be ...
(x·10^n -x)/(10^n -1) . . . where x has n repeating digits in the decimal fraction
Here, that looks like ...
