Problem Statement
	A rational number is defined as a/b, where a and b are integers, and b is greater than 0. Furthermore, a rational number can be written as a decimal that has a group of digits that repeat indefinitely. A common method of writing groups of repeating digits is to place them inside parentheses like 2.85(23) = 2.852323 ... 23... Given a decimal representation of a rational number in decimalNumber, convert it to a fraction formatted as "numerator/denominator", where both numerator and denominator are integers. The fraction must be reduced. In other words, the denominator must be as small as possible, but greater than zero.
Definition
	Class: RecurringNumbers Method: convertToFraction Parameters: String Returns: String Method signature: String convertToFraction(String decimalNumber) (be sure your method is public)
Constraints
-	decimalNumber will have between 3 and 10 characters inclusive.
-	decimalNumber will contain only characters '0' - '9', '.', '(' and ')'.
-	The second character in decimalNumber will always be '.'.
-	There will be at most one '(' and ')' in decimalNumber.
-	'(' in decimalNumber will be followed by one or more digits ('0' - '9'), followed by ')'.
-	')' in decimalNumber will not be followed by any other character.
Examples
0)
	"0.(3)" Returns: "1/3" 0.(3) = 0.333... = 1/3
1)
	"1.3125" Returns: "21/16" Note there are no recurring digits here, although we could write it as 1.3125(0) or 1.3124(9).
2)
	"2.85(23)" Returns: "14119/4950" 2.85(23) = 2.852323... = 285/100 + 23/9900 = 28238/9900 = 14119/4950. Make sure to reduce the fraction, as shown in the final step.
3)
	"9.123(456)" Returns: "3038111/333000"
4)
	"0.111(1)" Returns: "1/9"
5)
	"3.(000)" Returns: "3/1"
