Express 711 as a repeating decimal. Mark the cycle of repeating digits with a bar.

1 answer

To express 711 as a repeating decimal, we divide 711 by 1:

7111

We then multiply both the dividend and divisor by 9 to get rid of the decimal point:

711163999

Now we divide 6399 by 9:

711163999711

The remainder is 711, which is the same as the original dividend. This indicates that the decimal will repeat at this point. Thus, the repeating decimal representation of 711 is $\boxed{0.\overline{711}}$.
