Write it down as a fraction

7/76

We now set up a division bracket

76)7.00000... Note the decimal point and zeroes.

We say 76 into 7 doesn't go.

So shift the decimal point up one place

Hence

76)70.00000... ( = 0.

We say 76 into 70 doesn't go.

So shift the decimal point up one place

Hence

76)700.0000 ... = 0.0

We say 76 into 700 does go 9 times = 684

So shift the decimal point up one place

Hence 76)700.000 .. ( 0.09 remainder '16'.

Hence

      • 684 = 160.000

So 76)160.0000 = 0.092... ( remainder '8' )

Keep going like this, the answer will be 0.092105263...

That is the mechanical method.

However, on you calculator type in '7' divide '76' '=' and the answer will be 0.092105263....

Since '7' is a Prime number, it is possible that the answer is irrational.
