Detailed Answer:

Step 1: To convert 11.14076923 repeating into a fraction, begin writing this simple equation:

n = 11.14076923 (equation 1)

Step 2: Notice that there are 6 digits in the repeating block (076923) and 2 digits in the non-repeating part (14). Multiply both sides by 10⁸ = 100000000.

100000000 × n = 1114076923.076923 (equation 2)

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

100000000 × n = 1114076923.076923
      100 × n = 11.14076923
 99999900 × n = 1114075809
