In order to solve this problem, we can use a very simple trick. 

First, let's set x=0.¯2123

 

If we have this for the value of x, we get 10000x=2123.¯2123

 

Now, we subtract x from 10000x. We get

10000xx=2123.¯2123¯21239999x=2123

 

This means we get

x=21239999

 

Simplifying, we get

x=193909

 

So our final answer is 193909

 

Thanks! :)
