What is 50/3 as a decimal?

Answer

Fraction 50/3 as a decimal is
16.6

≈ 16.67 to hundredths

Repeating decimal: denominator 3 has the factor 3, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 6 — it repeats forever

50 ÷ 3 by long division

50 = 16 × 3 + 2: whole part 16, then divide the remainder 2

remainder×10= digit × 3 + new remainderdigit
2206 × 3 + 26

Remainder 2 is back after the 1st division → the digit 6 repeats forever: 0.6.

16 + 0.6 = 16.6
