3 divided by 7 is 0.428571428571428571428571428571... where the '428571' repeats so "2 and 3/7" is 2.428571.... As a percentage that is 242.8571...%. So the problem is writing 0.8571428571... as a fraction. With x= 0.8571428571..., 10000x= 8571.428571... and 10000000000x= 8571428571.428571.... Subtracting, 999999x= 85742 and x (if my arithmetic is correct) is 99999985742. So "2 and 3/7" is 242 and 99999985742%.
