What is 1 8/3 as a decimal?
Answer
Fraction 1 8/3 as a decimal is
3.6
≈ 3.67 to hundredths
Repeating decimal: denominator 3 has the factor 3, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 6 — it repeats forever
1 8/3: whole part, then 8 ÷ 3
8 = 2 × 3 + 2: whole part 1 + 2 = 3, 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.
3 + 0.6 = 3.6
