Question

Find the rational number having the following decimal expansions:

$0.\overline{231}$

✓

Answer

$0.\overline{231}=0.231231231\ \dots$

$=0.231+0.000231+0.000000231+\ $

$=\frac{231}{10^3}+\frac{231}{10^6}+\frac{231}{10^9}+\ \dots$

$=\frac{231}{10^3}\Big(1+\frac{1}{10^3}+\frac{1}{10^6}+\ \dots\Big)$

$=\frac{231}{1000}\Bigg(\frac{1}{1-\frac{1}{1000}}\Bigg)$

$0.\overline{231}=\frac{231}{999}$
