​​​​​​We have0.8=810

Let x=0=0.¯¯¯7=0.777... ....(1)
10x=7.7 ....(2)Subtracting (1) from (2), we get
9x=7x=79or0.¯¯¯7=79
Now, let y=0.¯¯¯¯¯¯43=0.4343....
10y=4.343 .... (3)And 1000y=434.343 ....(4)Subtracting (3) and (4), we get
990y=430y=39990
0.4¯¯¯3=39990
Now, 0.8+0.¯¯¯7+0.4¯¯¯3=810+79+430990









=792+770+430990=1992990


So, 1992990 is of the form
pqandq0.
