4/7 as a decimal is 0.571428571428……… Want to practice? Solve it Recurring decimals are decimal numbers that have one digit or a sequence of digits that are repeated or recurring. These decimals are the results of long division from certain fractions. It is not necessary that the long division of all fractions give the remainder […]

7/10 as a decimal is 0.7 Want to practice? The fraction is used to denote the number of parts represented out of the whole number of parts. Example: Doug has 7 pieces of cake. He ate 2 pieces out of it. Then the amount of cake had by him is given by the fraction $$\frac27$$. […]

3/7 as a decimal is 0.428571 Want to practice? Long Division Method Fractions are simplified using the long division method. The long division method involves the manual division by dividing the digits one-by-one or pairs until we reach the remainder as zero. In some divisions, we do not reach the remainder 0 and the division […]

3/11 as a decimal is 0.27272727… Want to practice? From the division above we can conclude that: $$\frac{\mathbf3}{\mathbf{11}}\boldsymbol=\mathbf0$$.______ Solution Observe the long division to find the value of the divisor.It can be seen that the result of the first step is 22 which is 2 times the divisor. From this, it can be deduced that […]

5/8 as a decimal is 0.625 Want to practice? Solution Observe that the fraction is converted to its decimal form on the other side.The number on the top of the fraction is called the numerator and the number at the bottom is the denominator.Divide the numerator by the denominator using the long division method. Steps […]

3/5 as a decimal is 0.6 Want to practice? $$\frac{\mathbf3}{\mathbf5}\boldsymbol=\frac{\boldsymbol?}{\mathbf{10}}\boldsymbol=\boldsymbol?$$ Solution To solve the first part (?), compare the numerator and denominator of both the fractions. It can be observed that the denominator of the first fraction 5 is multiplied by 2 to get 10. Similarly, 2 has to be multiplied by the numerator also […]

2/11 as a decimal is 0.181818… Want to practice? A fraction is represented by the numerator and denominator separated by a line. The line in a fraction represents the division of two numbers $$(\div)$$. The division of the numbers of a fraction is called the converting of the fraction to its decimal form. Solution Let […]

You surely already know the even numbers: they are the integers having 2 as one of its factors. In other words, 2 is the number that determines which integer s belong to the family of even numbers, and which to the family of odd numbers. Another exclusivity of 2 is that it is the first […]
