How to work it out

  1. Simplify: 66/81 = 22/27 (divide by 3)
  2. Divide the numerator by the denominator: 66 ÷ 81 = 0.81481481
  3. The digits in brackets repeat forever: 0.(814)
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.814815 × 81 = 66, which is 66 once rounding is allowed for.

In a spreadsheet: =66/81. Dividing the denominator by the numerator flips the fraction. A bar over (or brackets around) digits means they repeat forever.
