We can worry about the minus sign later.
\n" ); document.write( "Let's consider \"x\"= 4.35777.....
\n" ); document.write( "\"1000x\"= 4357.7777...
\n" ); document.write( "\"100x\"= 435.7777...
\n" ); document.write( "\"1000x-100x\"= 4357.7777... - 435.7777...
\n" ); document.write( "\"900x=+3922\"
\n" ); document.write( "So \"x=3922%2F900\".
\n" ); document.write( "We can simplify that fraction by dividing numerator and denominator by \"2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=1961%2F450\"
\n" ); document.write( "It cannot be simplified any further, because 1961 and 450 have no factors in common.
\n" ); document.write( "So 4.35777..... =\"1961%2F450\"
\n" ); document.write( "and -4.35777..... = -\"1961%2F450\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
