How to work it out

  1. Simplify: 8/96 = 1/12 (divide by 8)
  2. Divide the numerator by the denominator: 8 ÷ 96 = 0.08333333
  3. The digits in brackets repeat forever: 0.08(3)
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.083333 × 96 = 8, which is 8 once rounding is allowed for.

In a spreadsheet: =8/96. Dividing the denominator by the numerator flips the fraction. A bar over (or brackets around) digits means they repeat forever.
