Let x equal the repeating decimal.

x = 0.363636...

Since there are two repeating digits, 36, we multiply the equation above by 100 on both sides, and write it above the equation. Then we subtract the equations.

100x = 36.363636...
- x = 0.363636...
--------------------------------
99x = 36

Divide both sides by 99.

x = 36/99

Divide both the numerator and denominator by 9.

x = 4/11

Answer: 0.363636... = 4/11
