0.8333333.....
We say let P = 0.833333...
Then 100 P = 83.33333.....
and 10P = 8.333333....
Subtract
100P - 10P = 90P Hence
83.333333..... - 8.3333333..... = 75. 00000
Notice the 'poimt threes dissappear'.
Hence we have
90P = 75
P = 75/90
Cancel down by '5'
P = 15/18
Cancel down by #3#
P = 5/6
Hence P = 0.83333..... = 5/6 as a fraction.
