What is 17/3 as a decimal?
Answer
Fraction 17/3 as a decimal is
5.6
≈ 5.67 to hundredths
Repeating decimal: denominator 3 has the factor 3, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 6 — it repeats forever
17 ÷ 3 by long division
17 = 5 × 3 + 2: whole part 5, then divide the remainder 2
| remainder | ×10 | = digit × 3 + new remainder | digit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 20 | 6 × 3 + 2 | 6 |
Remainder 2 is back after the 1st division → the digit 6 repeats forever: 0.6.
5 + 0.6 = 5.6
