1. The problem is to calculate the division of 2 by 9. 2. The division operation is represented as $\frac{2}{9}$. 3. Since 2 is less than 9, the result will be a fraction less than 1. 4. The fraction $\frac{2}{9}$ cannot be simplified further because 2 and 9 have no common factors other than 1. 5. To express it as a decimal, divide 2 by 9: $2 \div 9 = 0.\overline{2}$ (a repeating decimal). 6. Therefore, the exact answer is $\frac{2}{9}$ and the decimal approximation is $0.222\ldots$ with 2 repeating infinitely.
