6/9 = 0.66666.... ( recurring to infinity).

First cancel down by '3'

Hence

6/9 = 2/3

Then set up a division bracket/

3)2.000000.... =

We start by saying ' two divided by three will not go; so zero in the answer and carry the two to the first zero to make it look like twenty.

Hence

3)2.00000 = 0.

We now say ''three divided into twenty, goes six times with a remainder of two.

3)2.000...= 0.6

Hence

We now carry the remainder two to the second zero, so it looks like twenty again, and repeat the division.

Hence

3)2.0000... = 0.66 remainder two again. and repeat the process.

You should now be able to see that this is a never ending process.

So we write '0.666...' with three dots/full stops/periods to indicate that it goes on to infinity.

For mathematical convenience it is truncated to '0.66667' .

3)2.0000....= 0.6)2.0000... ( 0. 6
