    I'm assuming this is 0.1666666 ...

    Which in that case is 1/6.

    (Just from memory)

    To do 0.161616161616 ...

    First, assign 0.161616 ... a variable, say it's x.

    Now say 100x, what is it.

    16.1616161616 ...

    Now subtract x from 100x.

    16.161616161616 ... - 0.16161616 ...

    Or, 99x

    99x = 16 in this case right now

    Divide both sides by 99

    x = 16/99

    So it really depends what's repeating, it's either 1/6 or 16/99.
