What is solution for 6.4356565656565656?

Eddy said:   1 decade ago
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.

@Eddy.

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

Thank you.
