11/16 as a decimal is 0.6875 Want to practice? Decimal division All the divisions do not give a whole number as an answer. Hence when we divide one number by another number, sometimes we arrive at a whole number other than 0 as the remainder. Decimal divisions are such divisions where we do not stop […]

3/10 as a decimal is 0.3 Want to practice? The decimal form of fractions with denominator 1 followed by zeros: The number of zeros in the denominator of a fraction is the number of decimal points to be shifted to the left in the numerator. Example: $$\frac{\mathbf7}{\mathbf{10}}\boldsymbol=\mathbf0\boldsymbol.\mathbf7$$ The denominator 10 has one zero. The decimal […]

3/4 as a decimal is 0.75 Want to practice? To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator 3 by the denominator 4 using long division. Note that since the number 3 is not divisible by 4, add a decimal point to the quotient to make the divisor 30. Once the decimal point is […]

3/8 as a decimal is 0.375. Watch Video Instructions  Practice How to do the long division method? To convert the fraction to decimal write the numbers in the long division with 3 as the dividend and 8 as the divisor.As 3 cannot be divided by 8, we can add 0 to 3 to make it 30 and add […]

5/7 as a decimal is 0.7142857142… Want to practice? The decimal form of a fraction is the value of the fraction when the values are divided. Solution We perform a long division by dividing 5 by 7. Here we can see that 7 > 5 and 5 cannot be divided by 7, we start our […]

4/9 as a decimal is 0.44 Want to practice? Solution A recurring decimal is a decimal in which a sequence of digits is repeated. A recurring or repeating decimal number is the result of long division where the division of the number gives the same remainders in the consecutive steps. Some of the examples of […]

13/16 as a decimal is 0.8125 Want to practice? Solution Any fraction can be converted to decimal form by dividing the numerator by the denominator. The numerator 13 is the divisor and the denominator 16 is the dividend. Since 16 > 13, we cannot divide 13 by 16. To continue the division, start by placing […]

2/7 as a decimal is 0.285714 Want to practice? A repeating decimal is a decimal number that has its decimal digits repeated periodically. For example: 1.83333…., 0.2323232…., 2.254725472547…. Such decimals are represented by placing a bar over the repeating digits.$$1.8\overline3,\;0.\overline{23},\;2.\overline{2547}$$ Solution Let us consider the fraction $$\frac27$$ to be converted to decimal form.Note that since […]
