Find the rational number (fractional) representation of the repeating decimal LaTeX:  \displaystyle 0.369369369\ldots

The first term is LaTeX:  \displaystyle a_1=0.369=\frac{369}{1000}=\frac{369}{1000} . The length of the repeating block is 3, so the common ratio is LaTeX:  \displaystyle \frac{1}{1000} . Using the formula for the sum of an infinite geometric series gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle S_{\infty}=\frac{a_1}{1-r}=\frac{369}{1-\left(\frac{1}{1000}\right)}=\frac{41}{111} .
