What is 80/3 as a decimal?

Answer

Fraction 80/3 as a decimal is

26.6

≈ 26.67 to hundredths

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

80 = 26 × 3 + 2: whole part 26, 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.

26 + 0.6 = 26.6

Fraction 80/3 as a decimal is 26.(6)

To convert 80/3 to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator: 80 ÷ 3 = 26.(6).

In lowest terms its denominator 3 has the prime factor 3, so the division never ends: a remainder comes back and the same digits repeat forever.

Multiply by 100: 80/3 ≈ 2,666.67%.
