I've come across the following question.
Find 0.¯2046 as a base ten fraction.
I understand that is the question asked the repeating decimal in base 10, I would then say that:
x=0.¯20410
1000x=204.¯20410
999x=204
x=204999
Therefore, I can perform a similar task by doing this:
x=0.¯2046
216x=204.¯2046
216x=204
x=204216=1718
Is the following procedure correct? Since initially we had to multiply by 103 in base 10, I would then assume that you would have to multiply by 63, or 216 in base 6.
