Answer:

To convert the repeating decimal \( 2.7\overline{435} \) into a rational form, follow these steps:

Let's denote \( x = 2.7\overline{435} \).

1. Identify the repeating part: \( 2.7\overline{435} \) means that the digits "435" repeat indefinitely.

2. Express \( x \) as:

\[ x = 2.743543543... \]

3. Multiply \( x \) by \( 1000 \) (since there are three digits in the repeating part "435"):

\[ 1000x = 2743.543543... \]

4. Subtract the original \( x \) from \( 1000x \) to eliminate the repeating part:

\[ 1000x - x = 2743.543543... - 2.743543543... \]

\[ 999x = 2740 \]

5. Solve for \( x \):

\[ x = \frac{2740}{999} \]

6. Simplify the fraction \( \frac{2740}{999} \), if possible. Since 2740 and 999 have no common factors other than 1, \( \frac{2740}{999} \) is already in its simplest form.

Therefore, the rational form of \( 2.7\overline{435} \) is \( \boxed{\frac{2740}{999}} \).

Thus, the rational form of
