The decimals for these numbers are all recurring decimals. They are unusual, in that they all consist of the same digits in the same order, but starting in a different position. If you know that 1/7 is 0.142857... (with all the digits repeated indefinitely), you can write the others down just by starting in the appropriate place:
2/7 = 0.285714...
3/7 = 0.428571...
4/7 = 0.571428...
5/7 = 0.714285...
6/7 = 0.857142...

Divide the top number by the bottom number-
1/7 would be 1 divided by 7.

.1428, .2857, .4285, .5714, .7142, and .7142
(If you meant 6/7 on the last one, that's .8571).
