How to work it out

  1. Simplify: 44/6 = 22/3 (divide by 2)
  2. Divide the numerator by the denominator: 44 ÷ 6 = 7.33333333
  3. The digits in brackets repeat forever: 7.(3)
  4. Check: Work backwards: 7.333333 × 6 = 44, which is 44 once rounding is allowed for.

In a spreadsheet: =44/6. Dividing the denominator by the numerator flips the fraction. A bar over (or brackets around) digits means they repeat forever.
