Question

Find the rational numbers having the following decimal expansion: 

\[0 .\overline {231 }\]

Advertisements

Solution

\[0 . \overline {231 }\]

\[\text { Let } S = 0 . \overline {231 }\]

\[ \Rightarrow S = 0 . 231 + 0 . 000231 + 0 . 000000231 + . . . \infty \]

\[ \Rightarrow S = 0 . 231\left( 1 + {10}^{- 3} + {10}^{- 6} + . . . \infty \right)\]

\[\text { It is a G . P } . \]

\[ \therefore S = 0 . 231\left( \frac{1}{1 - {10}^{- 3}} \right)\]

\[ \Rightarrow S = \frac{231}{999}\]
