How do you turn 1433.107 repeating into a fraction?

Detailed Answer:

Step 1: To convert 1433.107 repeating into a fraction, begin writing this simple equation:

n = 1433.107 (equation 1)

Step 2: Notice that there is 1 digit in the repeating block (7) and 2 digits in the non-repeating part (10). Multiply both sides by 10³ = 1000.

1000 × n = 1433107.7 (equation 2)

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

1000 × n = 1433107.7
 100 × n = 1433.107
 900 × n = 1289797

n = 1289797900 (answer)
