Ninja is a genius in mathematics. He got an interview call from MIT. During the interview, the professor asked Ninja a challenging question.

Given two integers 'N1' and 'N2', the professor asked Ninja to find the fraction when the first number i.e 'N1' is divided by the second number i.e 'N2'. If the fractional part is repeating, then the repeating part should be enclosed in parentheses.

For example, if 'N1' is 1 and 'N2' is 3 and when we divide 1 by 3 i.e 1/3, the answer is 0.333... Here 3 is repeated infinite times because the remainder never becomes zero in this problem. As we know the fractional part ( i.e 3 ) is repeating, so we have to enclose the repeating part in parentheses. Therefore, the answer is “0.(3)”.

Ninja is stuck in this problem. Can you help Ninja to crack this interview and get admission in MIT?
