Mark44 i think this works because the original method would be to times the number so that the repeat started directly after the decimal point eg.
0.341212121212 * 100 = 34.12121212
And then you would do the same but so one repeat is before the point eg.
0.341212121212*10000 = 3412.12121212...
Please explain this extra rule because i did not use one and got a correct answer i get the feeling you don't like this but you don't need to be a dick
Off topic mfb you come across as a make every situation awkward t*** you could change that, i guess.
On topic i fail to see how that does not simply become
3412-34 = 3378
3378/9900
Ymm I am in midde of my exams so haven't had a chance to look on hear sorry ymm il have a look as to how this works as for the number you put mfb could you place the reacuring in brakets so i can see no formating on my phone...[emoji58] - as for bad grammer il just apologies and leave it at that
Yes but practical application or not we are still taught it in school and require to be able to do so to pass our exams and if this way works faster and easier than the standard way then i just thought it would make sense for people to use it,as for computers not caring ok agreed however i could...
Okay answer appreciated however and this is according to my maths teacher my answer was correct 223/990 and i will post the theory just to show you but it was along the lines of
You take the non recurring number(s) in this case 2 then you take that number away from the whole number 225 leaving...
Okay so the name may be bigging it up however i found something in my maths class today that i don't think has previously been published or at least I've never been taught it, it makes converting reacuring decemals a lot quicker
I know about the over 9 rule however acording to my maths teacher...
