how can I convert recurring decimal into a rational number?
let it be x
multiply both sides with no. of repeating digits.
form 2 equations
subtract it
closure property? example? with explanation?
a + b equals R
ab equals R
commutative property? example? with explanation?
a+b=b+a
ab =ba
associative property? example? with explanation?
(a+b)+c= a+(b+c)
(ab)c = a(bc)
