An infinite geometric series has first term 328 and a sum of 2296. What is its common ratio?

Sum  =         first term  /  (1 -  r)

 

2296  =   328 / ( 1 -  r )

 

2296  ( 1 - r)  =  328

 

2296  - 2296r  =  328

 

2296 -  328  =   2296 r

 

1968 =  2296 t

 

r  =   1968 / 2296   =    6  / 7
