#29.2bar(987) = 19513/666#
Explanation:
Multiply by
#(10000-10)*29.2bar(987)#
#=292987.bar(987) - 292.bar(987)#
#=292695#
The factor
Then dividing both ends by
#29.2bar(987) = 292695/(10000-10) = 292695/9990 = (color(red)(cancel(color(black)(15)))*19513) / (color(red)(cancel(color(black)(15)))*666) = 19513/666#
