If you solve with long division until the digit repeats you get 0.428571428571... you see that it repeats every 6 digits so 100/6 is 16 remainder 4 so the fourth digit after is 4...2...8...5! Plz tell me if I got this correct!

3/7≈0.428571428571 and see how there is a pattern so it becomes  0.428571 | 428571 and there is 6 digits so we do 100/6=16 R4 where the R stands for remainder so it is the 4th number which is 5
