What is 20/13 as a decimal?

Fraction 20/13 as a decimal is
1.538461

Repeating decimal: denominator 13 has the factor 13, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 538461 — 6 digits repeat forever

20 ÷ 13 by long division

20 = 1 × 13 + 7: whole part 1, then divide the remainder 7

remainder×10= digit × 13 + new remainderdigit
7705 × 13 + 55
5503 × 13 + 113
111108 × 13 + 68
6604 × 13 + 84
8806 × 13 + 26
2201 × 13 + 71

Remainder 7 is back after the 6th division → the 6 digits 538461 repeat: 0.538461.

1 + 0.538461 = 1.538461
