A NUMBER of the form p/Q , where p and q are integers and q not EQUAL to zero is called rational number.

Any rational number can be written as

a terminating decimal expansion or non-terminating decimal expansion.

Let

X=1.272727272727. (1)

MULTIPLY both sides by 100

100x=127.272727. .(2)

subtract (1) from (2)

100x - x = 126

99x = 126

x=\frac{126}{99}
