$7319/9990$

We first let 0.7326 (326 being repeated) be $x$ .

Since $x$ is recurring in 3 decimal places, we multiply it by 1000.

$1000x = 732.6326$

Next, we subtract them.

$1000x - x = 732.6326 - 0.7326$

$999x = 731.9$

Lastly, we divide both sides by 999 to get $x$ as a fraction.

$x = 731.9/999$

$= 7319/9990$
