\begin{gathered} We\text{ are tasked with writing 1/6 as a decimal.} \\ We\text{ will do this by dividing the numerator by the denominator} \\ 1/6.000 \\ Using\text{ long division:} \\ 6\text{ does not go into 1. But goes into ten once \lparen0.1\rparen remainder 4} \\ 6\text{ does not go into 4 but goes into 40 6 times \lparen0.06\rparen remainder four.} \\ The\text{ remainder will continue to be four indefinetly after this.} \\ \\ \frac{}{} \\ \end{gathered}

Summing up we have: 0.16666...
