x = 20.148148148148....

so by multiplying by 1000 we can move the decimal point to again get that exact fraction part

1000x = 20148.148148148.....

1x = 20.148148148....

subtraction of the last two lines gives us the value for 999x,

999x = 20128 exactly!

Can you finish the final little step now?
