# 435/999= 0.bar(435)#

Explanation:

How 4 and 5 are recurring? It cannot be #0.bar(4)3bar(5)#. Do you mean #0.bar(435)# or maybe #0.435bar(45)#?

Assuming you mean #0.bar(435)#:

let #x = 0.bar(435)#
There are 3 recurring digits after decimal
#1000xxx = 1000xx0.bar(435)#
#1000x = 435.bar(435#

#=> x = 0.bar(435)# , #1000x = 435.bar(435)#
#1000x - x = 435.bar(435) - 0.bar(435)#
#999x = 435#
#x = 435/999#
