Write the decimal number as a fraction
(over 1)
0.833333333 = 0.833333333 / 1

Multiplying by 1 to eliminate 9 decimal places
we multiply top and bottom by 9 10's

Numerator (N)
N = 0.833333333 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 833333333
Denominator (D)
D = 1 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 1000000000

N / D = 833333333 / 1000000000

Simplifying our fraction

= 833333333/1000000000

= 833333333/1000000000
