The correct answer is: $\frac{284}{495}$
Let $x=0.5737373 \ldots$
$$
\begin{aligned}
\Rightarrow & 10 x &=5.737373 \ldots \\
\Rightarrow & 1000 x &=573.7373 \ldots \\
\Rightarrow & 1000 x-10 x &=573-5 \\
\Rightarrow & 990 x &=568 \\
\Rightarrow & x &=\frac{568}{990} \\
\Rightarrow & x &=\frac{284}{495}
