If you had said that the 6s go on forever and never end, and that the 7 at the

end is just a rounding of the rest of the decimal, then we would understand that

2.666666666666667 is a shorthand representation for the non-terminating decimal

for 8/3 .

But if 2.666666666666667 is the whole thing, then it's equal to the fraction 2,666,666,666,666,667/1,000,000,000,000,000 .

Let x = 2.666…

(1) x=2.666…

(2) 10x=26.666…

(2-1) : 10x-x = 26.666… - 2.666…

 9x = 24

 9x/9 = 24/9

 x = 24/9
