What is 1 2/3 as a decimal?
Answer
Fraction 1 2/3 as a decimal is
1.6
≈ 1.67 to hundredths
Repeating decimal: denominator 3 has the factor 3, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 6 — it repeats forever
1 2/3: whole part, then 2 ÷ 3
Whole part 1 stays in front; divide the fraction part:
| 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.
1 + 0.6 = 1.6
