It depends on which part is repeating, but if the entire '384615' part is repeating, then a '6' would be in the 40th decimal position.
Here's a trick to figuring that out:
there are 6 digits altogether, so you know that if you have it repeating 7 times, then you would have 42 decimal places. Well then what would be the last digit of this long number? Obviously it would be '5', so tracing backwards, '5' would be in the 42nd place, '1' would be in the 41st place, and '6' would be in the 40th place.

besides to each and everything all of us has suggested so a procedures, understand that there is often more suitable than one thanks to precise a volume. From above, you've seen that .33333... is an same as a million/3. The .33333... is the decimal representation of the rational volume a million/3 Rational numbers are expressed because the ratio of two organic numbers. Decimal representation of a cost is in accordance to powers of 10. those, the tens, the 1000's, in the route of the left of the decimal aspect. The tenths, the hundredths, the thousandths, to the right of the decimal aspect. even although a decimal representation of a cost ought to have a repeating element, do no longer confuse this with the theory of drawing close a decrease. there is an relaxing false impression held by employing some those who .99999... is finally decrease than a million. in truth, .99999... is the same as a million.

There are 6 repeating digits. Divide 40 by 6 and get 6 with remainder 4. The answer is the fourth digit = 6. It's called modular division. Works like a clock face.

6 units in the repeating sequence.
40th place
40/6 = ~6 w/ 4 units left over
count over 6 units and then back across 4 spaces.
The unit in the 10th position is 6.
The answer is 6

you have 6 digits repeating
thus the 40th digit would be the same as the 34th, 28th, 22nd, 16th, 10th, and 4th digit, which is 6, not 8.
