  2. Divide the numerator by the denominator: 50 ÷ 44 = 1.13636364
  3. The digits in brackets repeat forever: 1.1(36)
  4. Check: Work backwards: 1.136364 × 44 = 50, which is 50 once rounding is allowed for.

In a spreadsheet: =50/44. Dividing the denominator by the numerator flips the fraction. A bar over (or brackets around) digits means they repeat forever.
