0.66666in the form of pq is :
Let,x=0.66666 ----- (i)
Multiplying both sides by 10,we get :
10x=6.6666 -----(ii)
Subtract equation (ii) from equation (i) , we get :
⇒10x-x=6.6666-0.6666⇒9x=6⇒x=69⇒x=23
Hence , 0.66666in the form of pq is 23.
Suppose p/q is a positive rational in its lowest form. Prove that is also in its lowest form.
