b. 0.567323232

Answer by Theo(13342)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! as best i can determine, the repetend is the part of the faction that repeats endlessly and the period is the length of the repetend.
it was not easy to find a simple definition on the web, but i think i succeeded after several efforts where they talked a lot about what the repetend was but not very much about what the period was.
assuming my search was successful, you get the following:
a. 0.9999
the repetend is 9 and the period is 1.
b. 0.567323232
the repetend is 32 and the period is 2.
c. 0.1827482748274
the repetend is 8274 and the period is 4.
i believe you would write them as follows using the bar notation.
_
a. 0.9999 = .9
__
b. 0.567323232 = .56732
____
c. 0.1827482748274 - .18274
