Well to be a bit more accurate than renee12, it's 6.6 repeating, as in, after the decimal, it's an infinite number of 6's.

And to provide you with further information, you're sitting at a computer, and all current operating systems (even most dated ones too). If you're running any Windows based operating system, just check the Start menu, and check Accessories. If you're running a Macintosh based operating system, check the Applications folder in the Hard Drive. If you're on Linux, well, you should know what you're doing with Linux and thus should know where the calculator is at least.

Oh I know. Just to make it clear, I wasn't calling you out or anything, I was just adding on. Glad my information helped you too :)
If you want to be correct, don't want to round and don't want to keep writing 6's for the rest of your life, the mathematical way that you write it is to write 6.66 (some number of 6's) and then on the last one, put a dot above it. Kind of like dotting an i. This it the way that you write that the number carries on forever.

Close, but no cigar... First of all, you don't have to include two decimal places if writing a number with a repeating decimal (you can just write 6.6), and second of all, it's not a dot, but a line. So you would get this:
