Since we can't use a calculator (thanks a lot LOL :))

Look at the image!

We have that \(2/17 = 0.\overline{1176470588235293}\)

There are 16 digits repeating in this decimal. 

 

So our answer is 1176470588235293. 

I'm not sure how there's only 6 digits, but there are 16 digit repeating. 

 

Thanks! :)
