To determine whether the given number is rational or irrational, we need to analyze its decimal representation.
The given number is 0.868668666866668666668..., and it appears to have a repeating pattern. This pattern consists of the digits 8 and 6 repeating.
A rational number is defined as a number that can be expressed as a fraction of two integers. Irrational numbers, on the other hand, cannot be expressed as a fraction.
By looking at the decimal representation, we can see that the repeating pattern indicates that the number can be expressed as a fraction. To convert it into fraction form, let's denote it as x:
x = 0.868668666866668666668...
To get rid of the repetitive part, we can subtract an identical number multiplied by a power of 10:
1000x = 868.668666866668666668...
Now let's subtract the original equation from this:
1000x - x = 868.668666866668666668... - 0.868668666866668666668...
This simplifies to:
999x = 868
Dividing both sides by 999:
x = 868/999
Since x can be expressed as a fraction of two integers, it is a rational number.
Therefore, 0.868668666866668666668... is a rational number.
