We can indicate this as $1 . . 6 or 166 \frac{2}{3} %$ $1.dot6 or 166 2/3%$

FIRST $1 \frac{2}{3}$ $1 2/3$ can be written as $\frac{5}{3}$ $5/3$

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

but it does actually keep recurring to infinity.

We can indicate this as $1 . . 6$ $1.dot6$

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

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

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

A more accurate way of giving the percent is as $166 \frac{2}{3} %$ $166 2/3%$

This has not been rounded and is an exact amount.
