Sympy Repeating Decimal to Fraction Detector

I've built a small tool called the Sympy Repeating Decimal to Fraction Detector. Its purpose is straightforward: to convert repeating decimals into their exact fractional form.

The core of this tool leverages the Sympy library, a Python package for symbolic mathematics. For developers or students who work with mathematical expressions, understanding the precise rational representation of repeating decimal expansions can be important. This tool automates that conversion.

For example, if you have a decimal like 0.333... or 0.142857142857..., the tool will output its equivalent fraction, such as 1/3 or 1/7 respectively.

This is a niche utility, but for anyone needing to represent repeating decimals accurately as fractions, it should prove useful. It's a focused application of Sympy's capabilities to solve a specific mathematical problem.
