Detailed Answer:

Step 1: To convert 10.930769 repeating into a fraction, begin writing this simple equation:

n = 10.930769 (equation 1)

Step 2: Notice that there are 5 digits in the repeating block (30769) and 1 digit in the non-repeating part (9). Multiply both sides by 10⁶ = 1000000.

1000000 × n = 10930769.30769 (equation 2)

Step 3: Now subtract equation 1 from equation 2 to cancel the repeating block (or repetend) out.

1000000 × n = 10930769.30769
     10 × n = 10.930769
 999990 × n = 10930660

10930660999990 could be the answer, but it still can be put in the simplest form, i.e., reduced.
