What is the fractional form of 3.14?

Since the number is obviously non-repeating, we can make it into a fraction by multiplying both the numerator and denominator of 3.14/1 by ten until the numerator has no digits after the decimal place. Doing so, we get 314/100. We can reduce this fraction (by dividing numerator and denominator by 2, in this case) to: 157/50


8 to the negative two-thirds power?

8-2/3=.00520833333333333 or 1 over the cubic root of 64. A number to a negative power is always 1 over the integer to the power of the opposite (or negative) of the exponent. So 5-1=1/5-(-1)=1/51 and 6-3=1/6-(-3)=1/63. A number to fractional power is always the the number being exponented to the power of the numerator of the fractional power to the root of the denominator of the original fractional power. So 51/2 is equal to the square root of five and 62/3 is the cubic root of 62 or the cubic root of 36.
