Let P = 0.161616...
Hence
100 P = 16.161616....
Subtract
99P = 16 ( Note the recurring decimals to infinity subtract out).
P = 16/99
However, if you mean
0.166666....
Then
10P = 1.66666....
&
100P = 16.6666...
Subtract
90P = 15
P = 15/90
P = 1/6

Suppose F = 0.1666...
then 10F = 1.6666...
Subtracting the first from the second gives: 9F = 1.5 si that F = 1.5/9 = 1/6
It is 2/125.
