How to work it out

  1. Simplify: 26/60 = 13/30 (divide by 2)
  2. Divide the numerator by the denominator: 26 ÷ 60 = 0.43333333
  3. The digits in brackets repeat forever: 0.4(3)
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.433333 × 60 = 26, which is 26 once rounding is allowed for.

In a spreadsheet: =26/60. Dividing the denominator by the numerator flips the fraction. A bar over (or brackets around) digits means they repeat forever.
