You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"1%2F15\"$ Start with the given expression\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Translate the division problem into this:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "   _______\r\n" );
document.write( "15 | 1.00\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "

\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now think of this as 100 divided by 15. So how many times does 15 go into 100? It goes in 6 times. Place a 6 over the second zero and multiply by 15 to get 90. Place 90 underneath 100 and subtract to get 10. Also bring down another zero\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "   ___.06__\r\n" );
document.write( "15 | 1.000\r\n" );
document.write( "       90\r\n" );
document.write( "    -------\r\n" );
document.write( "       100\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "

\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now how many times does 15 go into 100? Again the answer is 6. Repeat the last steps\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "   ____.066__\r\n" );
document.write( "15 | 1.0000\r\n" );
document.write( "       90\r\n" );
document.write( "    -------\r\n" );
document.write( "       1000\r\n" );
document.write( "        90\r\n" );
document.write( "       ----\r\n" );
document.write( "        100\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "

\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This process will repeat itself infinitely. So this means $\"1%2F15=0.06666\"$ where the 6's will repeat forever\r

\n" );
