i used basically the trial and error method, too, multiplying everything by 3, starting with 2. the number i used originally was 8×3, and kept multiplying by 3. the number i got was actually not using 0, but if you put it into decimals, it can use it =

5832 / 17496

is also .05832 / .17496

but you can add a zero on the end, also, which is

58320 / 174960 – but you’re using the 0 twice.

ok, here it is. It’s long because it requires 0-9 but it says at least once, so i chose to include them more than once just to make sure everything would be included.

Here’s the method. use your times tables… 1×3=3 and work all the way up to 9×3=27. put the answers as your bottom number of your fraction. as the top number of your fraction, you put the first number… the number that you’re multiplying by 3. since you’ve multiplied all of the top numbers by 3 to make your bottom number, you know the fraction will come out to be a third!

123040506070809/369121518212427=1/3

I’m sure that was the really complicated way to do it and I really did it by trial and error, but I did it by playing with numbers and multiplying them by 3. I realized that 123×3=369 and that’s how I got the idea to keep going. Looking at it now, I think you could stop after 3×7=21… by then you have all the numbers. so a shorter answer would be:

12304050607/36912151821=1/3

also, you could do 123456789/370370367=1/3

I got that by taking 123456789 and multiplying it by 3

I don’t think there’s a good way to get your answer… I think playing with it is the only way. anyway, there’s some answers for you.
