2.666.... = 2 2/3

NB Note the use three or more full stops to indicate recurring to infinity. This is the mathematicians indication of recurring to infinity.

NNB To convert a recurring decimal to a fraction.

Let

P = 2.666....

10P = 26.6666...

Subtract

9P = 24 ( Note the recurring decimal to inifinity subtract to zero).

P = 24/9

Reduce the fraction

P = 2 6/9 = 2 2/3 Done!!!!

NB This cannot be done with an IRRATIONAL number. such as 'pi'.
