Answer 2

we'll start by moving the recurring part to the left of the decimal point hmmm so the recurring part is 0.14 so if we just multiply that by 100, that'll give us 14.141414...., now let's make the recurring part a variable

`x=0.\overline{14}\hspace{5em} \begin{array}{llll} 100x&=&14.\overline{14141414}\\\\ &&14+0.\overline{14141414}\\\\ &&14+x \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ 100x=14+x\implies 99x=14\implies x=\cfrac{14}{99}`
