He was appointed dictator rei gerendae causa for a full year in 46 BC and then designated for nine consecutive one-year terms in that office thereafter, functionally becoming dictator for ten years.
A year later, this pretense was discarded altogether and the Senate voted to make him dictator perpetuus (usually rendered in English as "dictator for life", but properly meaning "perpetual dictator").
The office was later offered to Caesar Augustus, who prudently declined it, and opted instead for tribunician power and consular imperium without holding any office other than pontifex maximus and princeps senatus — a politic arrangement which left him as functional dictator without having to hold the controversial title or office itself.

Note the semicolon after the first quotient [a reminder that it may not be positive] and the ellipsis to indicate incompleteness.
This is the analog of a decimal expansion rounded just before a 9 or a 0 (or even a string of 9s or 0s).
Because 292 is unusually large as a partial quotient, 355/113 is an excellent approximation (7 correct digits and a relative error of only +85 ppb).
