_____________________________________________

Step-by-step explanation:
_____________________________________________
Given: "8.266666667 " ; write in "simplest form" ;
_____________________________________________
Let us assume that the number is meant to be:

"8.2666666.. " (with repeating "6's) .

Consider the: "0.26666666666...." ;

Let "x = 0.26666666666...." ;

_____________________________________________

100x = 26.666666666666666666................... ;

10x = 2.666666666666666666....................... ;

_____________________________________________

Note: " 100x – 10x = 90x " ;

_____________________________________________

100x = 26.666666666666666666...................

– 10x = 2.666666666666666666.......................

_____________________________________________

90x = 24.00000000000000000.........................

______________________________________________

→ 90x = 24 ;

Divide each side of the equation by "90" ;

→ 90x / 90 = 24/90 ;

to get:

→ x = 24/90 ;

→ x = 24/90 = (24÷6) / (90÷6) = 4/15 ;

Add the "whole number, " 8 "; to this value; to get:

→ " 8
`(4)/(15)` " .
