If I understand your question correctly, it is about converting rational numbers to decimal fractions.


If so, there is no any direct/explicit formula for it.

Instead, there is a PROCEDURE for it, and this procedure is called


            long division of integer numbers.


This technique is slightly complicated for explanation, since it requires a lot of writing and,
which is even worst, a lot of accurately formatted writing.


Nevertheless, I collected for you some list of Internet sources that might be helpful.
