What number will be in the 72nd position of the decimal form of 5/11?
1/11 --> repeating 09
2/11 --> repeating 18
3/11 --> repeating 27
4/11 --> repeating 36
5/11 --> repeating 45
6/11 --> repeating 54
7/11 --> repeating 63
8/11 --> repeating 72
9/11 --> repeating 81
10/11 --> repeating 90
11/11 --> actually repeating 99
but 10^(- infinity) is so small that this equals 1
72 is an even number
the number in the 72nd position of 5/11 will be 5
