It looks like you mean x = 0.\overline{345} (the digits 345 repeat). Solve:

Let x = 0.\overline{345}.
1000x = 345.\overline{345}.
Subtract: 1000x − x = 345.\overline{345} − 0.\overline{345} = 345.
So 999x = 345 → x = 345/999.

Reduce by 3: x = 115/333.

(Check: 115/333 = 0.345345345... = 0.\overline{345}.)
