  2. Divide the numerator by the denominator: 60 ÷ 36 = 1.66666667
  3. The digits in brackets repeat forever: 1.(6)
  4. Check: Work backwards: 1.666667 × 36 = 60, which is 60 once rounding is allowed for.

In a spreadsheet: =60/36. Dividing the denominator by the numerator flips the fraction. A bar over (or brackets around) digits means they repeat forever.
