What is 2 1/12 as a decimal?
Answer
Fraction 2 1/12 as a decimal is
2.083
≈ 2.08 to hundredths
Repeating decimal: denominator 12 = 2 × 2 × 3 has the factor 3, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 3 — it repeats forever
2 1/12: whole part, then 1 ÷ 12
Whole part 2 stays in front; divide the fraction part:
| remainder | ×10 | = digit × 12 + new remainder | digit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10 | 0 × 12 + 10 | 0 |
| 10 | 100 | 8 × 12 + 4 | 8 |
| 4 | 40 | 3 × 12 + 4 | 3 |
Remainder 4 repeats from the 3rd digit on → 0.083.
2 + 0.083 = 2.083
