  2. Divide the numerator by the denominator: 90 ÷ 27 = 3.33333333
  3. The digits in brackets repeat forever: 3.(3)
  4. Check: Work backwards: 3.333333 × 27 = 90, which is 90 once rounding is allowed for.

In a spreadsheet: =90/27. Dividing the denominator by the numerator flips the fraction. A bar over (or brackets around) digits means they repeat forever.
