Step 3: Simplify the fraction by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator. Here, the GCD is 142857143. Divide both by this number: 2857142857/100000000000 = 2/7000

 

Step 4: Further simplify 2/7000 to 1/3500 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2.

 

Thus, 0.02857142857 can be written as the fraction 1/3500.
