How to work it out

  1. Simplify: 50/75 = 2/3 (divide by 25)
  2. Divide the numerator by the denominator: 50 ÷ 75 = 0.66666667
  3. The digits in brackets repeat forever: 0.(6)
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.666667 × 75 = 50, which is 50 once rounding is allowed for.

In a spreadsheet: =50/75. Dividing the denominator by the numerator flips the fraction. A bar over (or brackets around) digits means they repeat forever.
