2/11

2 of 11 equal parts filled — the same share as a bar and as a circle.

Where the decimal comes from

There is no rewrite over 10, 100 or 1000 for 2/11: 11 has a prime factor other than 2 and 5, so no whole-number multiplier reaches a power of ten. Watch the long division to see what happens instead — the remainders start circling, and once a remainder comes back, the digits must too:

1. 20 ÷ 11 = 1remainder 9
2. 90 ÷ 11 = 8remainder 2— this remainder has come around before, so from here the digits repeat

Written exactly: 0.(18) — the parentheses mark the block that repeats forever.
