To show the group of digits that repeat in a repeating decimal, the correct method is **by putting a bar over them**. This notation indicates that the digits under the bar repeat indefinitely.

The repeating cycle of a repeating decimal could be **up to six digits long** if the denominator of the rational number is 7. This is because the length of the repeating cycle is determined by the factors of the denominator when expressed in its simplest form. For a denominator of 7, the cycle can be a maximum of 6 digits long.

To convert the repeating decimal \( 0.27\overline{7} \) (where 7 repeats) into a rational number, we can use the following steps:

1. Let \( x = 0.27\overline{7} \).
2. Multiply both sides by 10 to shift the decimal point:
\[
10x = 2.7\overline{7}
\]
3. Multiply both sides by 10 again to shift the repeating part:
\[
100x = 27.\overline{7}
\]
4. Now we have:
\[
10x = 2.7\overline{7} \quad \text{(1)}
\]
\[
100x = 27.\overline{7} \quad \text{(2)}
\]

5. Subtract equation (1) from equation (2):
\[
(100x - 10x) = (27.\overline{7} - 2.7\overline{7})
\]
\[
90x = 27 - 2.7
\]
\[
90x = 24.3
\]

6. Now, divide both sides by 90:
\[
x = \frac{24.3}{90}
\]

7. To simplify \( \frac{24.3}{90} \), multiply the numerator and denominator by 10 to eliminate the decimal:
\[
x = \frac{243}{900}
\]

8. Now, simplify \( \frac{243}{900} \). The GCD of 243 and 900 is 9.
\[
x = \frac{243 \div 9}{900 \div 9} = \frac{27}{100}
\]

Thus, the repeating decimal \( 0.27\overline{7} \) converts to the rational number \( \frac{27}{100} \) in simplest form.

To convert the repeating decimal \( 0.264\overline{6} \) to a rational number, you would set \( x \) equal to \( 0.264\overline{6} \) and then multiply both sides of the equation by **1000**.

This is because the repeating part (the digit 6) begins after three decimal places, so multiplying by \( 1000 \) shifts the decimal point three places to the right.

I apologize for any confusion. Let's clarify the conversion for the repeating decimal \( 0.264\overline{6} \).

1. Set \( x = 0.264\overline{6} \).
2. Notice that the repeating part "6" starts after the first three digits (264). Therefore, to align the repeating part, we would actually need to multiply by **10**.

So, if we multiply by **10**, we get:

\[
10x = 2.646\overline{6}
\]

If you were to multiply by **1000**, you would shift the decimal three places but would not align the repeating part correctly.

Therefore, for the decimal \( 0.264\overline{6} \), you should multiply both sides by **10** to set up the next step in the conversion. Thank you for your patience, and I appreciate your understanding!

If a repeating decimal has a repeating cycle of three digits, it will convert to a rational number with a denominator of **999**.

This is because the denominator is determined by the number of digits in the repeating cycle: for a cycle of \( n \) digits, the denominator is \( 10^n - 1 \). Thus, for a repeating cycle of three digits, the denominator is \( 10^3 - 1 = 999 \).
