Show that a number belongs or does not belong to a Cantor set I have trouble showing that $\frac{10}{31}$ and $\frac{45}{69}$ belong/do not belong to the Cantor set. I tried to do the following
$$\sum_{n = x}^\infty \frac{2}{3^n} = \frac{2}{3^x} + \frac{2}{3^{(x + 1)}} + \frac{2}{3^{(x + 2)}} + \dots = \frac{2}{3^x} \left[ 1 + \frac{1}{3^1} + \frac{1}{3^2} + \dots \right] = \frac{2}{3^x} \sum_{k = 0}^\infty \frac{1}{x^k} =  \frac{2}{3^x} \times \frac{1}{1- \frac{1}{3}} = \frac{1}{3^{x- 1}}$$
and then plug different values of $x = 1, 2, \dots$, but I could not seem to get these numbers. Does it mean they do not belong to the Cantor set? Please help if you can. Thank you so much.

Neither one is in the Cantor set. $\dfrac{10}{31} = 0.02220101110012..._{3}$, and $\dfrac{45}{69} = \dfrac{15}{23} = 0.12212110220122..._{3}$. Both has $1$ in their ternary presentation.
