-- Take one complete set of the repeated digits in the decimal.
Treat those digits as the numerator of a fraction.
-- The denominator of the fraction is a string of nines (99...) ...
just as many as there are digits in the numerator.
-- Reduce the fraction to lower terms (simplify) if it's possible
and you feel like it.
