How to work it out

  1. Simplify: 69/99 = 23/33 (divide by 3)
  2. Divide the numerator by the denominator: 69 ÷ 99 = 0.6969697
  3. The digits in brackets repeat forever: 0.(69)
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.69697 × 99 = 69, which is 69 once rounding is allowed for.

In a spreadsheet: =69/99. Dividing the denominator by the numerator flips the fraction. A bar over (or brackets around) digits means they repeat forever.
