What is 2 6/7 as a decimal?

Fraction 2 6/7 as a decimal is
2.857142

Repeating decimal: denominator 7 has the factor 7, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 857142 — 6 digits repeat forever

2 6/7: whole part, then 6 ÷ 7

Whole part 2 stays in front; divide the fraction part:

6608 × 7 + 48
4405 × 7 + 55
5507 × 7 + 17
1101 × 7 + 31
3304 × 7 + 24
2202 × 7 + 62

Remainder 6 is back after the 6th division → the 6 digits 857142 repeat: 0.857142.

2 + 0.857142 = 2.857142
