2. Write the mixed repeating (recurring) decimal number as an improper fraction.

  • 66.66666669 can be written as an improper fraction.

  • The numerator is larger than or equal to the denominator.

Set up the first equation.

  • Let y equal the decimal number:

  • y = 66.66666669


Set up the second equation.

  • Number of decimal places repeating: 7

  • Multiply both sides of the first equation by 107 = 10,000,000


y = 66.66666669

10,000,000 × y = 10,000,000 × 66.66666669

10,000,000 × y = 666,666,666.96666669


Subtract the first equation from the second one.

  • Having the same number of decimal places ...
  • The repeating pattern drops off by subtracting the two equations.

10,000,000 × y - y = 666,666,666.96666669 - 66.66666669 ⇒

(10,000,000 - 1) × y = 666,666,666.96666669 - 66.66666669 ⇒

We now have a new equation:

9,999,999 × y = 666,666,600.3


Solve for y in the new equation.

9,999,999 × y = 666,666,600.3 ⇒

y = 666,666,600.3/9,999,999

Let the result written as a fraction.



Now we can write the number as a fraction.

According to our first equation:

y = 66.66666669

According to our calculations:

y = 666,666,600.3/9,999,999

⇒ 66.66666669 = 666,666,600.3/9,999,999


Get rid of the decimal places in the fraction above.

  • Multiply the top and the bottom number by 10.
  • 1 followed by as many 0-s as the number of digits after the decimal point.

66.66666669 = (666,666,600.3 × 10)/(9,999,999 × 10)

66.66666669 = 6,666,666,003/99,999,990


3. Reduce (simplify) the fraction above:
6,666,666,003/99,999,990
to the lowest terms, to its simplest equivalent form, irreducible.

To reduce a fraction to the lowest terms divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest (highest) common factor (divisor), GCF.


Factor the numerator and denominator (prime factorization).

6,666,666,003 = 32 × 53 × 3,119 × 4,481

99,999,990 = 2 × 32 × 5 × 239 × 4,649


» Prime factorization: break numbers down to prime factors, online calculator


Calculate the greatest (highest) common factor (divisor), GCF.

Multiply all the common prime factors by the lowest exponents.

GCF (32 × 53 × 3,119 × 4,481; 2 × 32 × 5 × 239 × 4,649) = 32


» Calculate the greatest (highest) common factor (divisor), GCF, online calculator


Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCF.

6,666,666,003/99,999,990 =

(32 × 53 × 3,119 × 4,481)/(2 × 32 × 5 × 239 × 4,649) =

(53 × 3,119 × 4,481)/(2 × 5 × 239 × 4,649) =

740,740,667/11,111,110


4. The fraction is an improper one, rewrite it as a mixed number (mixed fraction):

  • A mixed number = an integer number and a proper fraction, of the same sign.
  • Example 1: 2 1/5; Example 2: - 1 3/7.
  • A proper fraction = the numerator is smaller than the denominator.

740,740,667 ÷ 11,111,110 = 66, remainder = 7,407,407 ⇒

740,740,667 = 66 × 11,111,110 + 7,407,407 ⇒

740,740,667/11,111,110 =

(66 × 11,111,110 + 7,407,407) / 11,111,110 =

(66 × 11,111,110) / 11,111,110 + 7,407,407/11,111,110 =

66 + 7,407,407/11,111,110 =

66 7,407,407/11,111,110
