We can indicate this as #1.dot6 or 166 2/3%#

FIRST #1 2/3# can be written as #5/3#

This is how you can write it if you want it to come to a stop #1.6666666666666666666666666666667#

but it does actually keep recurring to infinity.

We can indicate this as #1.dot6#

SO now you want it to be expressed as a %.

Basically you can call it #166.7#% (it is actually

#166.66666666666666666666666666667%)# but it would go on for ever.

A more accurate way of giving the percent is as #166 2/3%#

This has not been rounded and is an exact amount.
