So, we have solved:

1. 0.7777…. = 7/9
2. 0.71717…. = 71/99
3. 1.753753753…. = (1753-1)/999
4. 1.7535353… = (1753-17)/990

So, basically to convert the number in p/q form,

we can write the following rule:

In the Numerator write the given number

formed by repeating and non repeating
parts and subtracts from it the part of the
decimal that is not repeating.
In the denominator, write as many
9’s as the cycle and then put as
many 0’s as there are non repeating
digits.

So, we can make a shortcut:

Number =

complete number
(9' s correspond ing to repeated alphabets )
(0' s correspond ing to non repeated alphabets )
