Answer:

0.571428571428.....

Explanation:

The process done is absolutely correct.You need to add 0s and go on dividing until you get reminder to be 0. Here, after those steps the reminder gets repeated and hence the further division by adding 0s will be the same as the above. These are called recurring decimals because they keep on repeating. so the answer is 0.571428571428571428......
