@Eddy.
I still don't get it. Why should we do 100r-r? Can this concept be explained with another equation perhaps?
Thank you.

Let r = 0.232323 but 23 keep repeating. So let 100r = 23.232323.
Since the decimal move two times then 100r-r = 23.232323 - 0.232323.
99r = 23.
Therefore r = 23/99.
Since the decimal move two times then 100r-r = 23.232323 - 0.232323.
99r = 23.
Therefore r = 23/99.

What is solution for 6.4356565656565656?

There are dots (....) after 23 i.e. 23 is repeated infinitely .232323232323232323...
But only two 'digits' - 2&3 are repeating so taken 2 9's.

Please explain this question 23 is repeated 3 times but we have added 9 (2 times in denominator not 3 times) why.

It is simple. All you need to do is just put as many as nines in denominator which are recurring or under the bar. In numerator remove the bar sign.

Write the repeated figures only once in the numerator and take as many nines in the denominator as is the number of repeating figures.
