What is 2 1/3 as a decimal?
Answer
Fraction 2 1/3 as a decimal is
2.3
≈ 2.33 to hundredths
Repeating decimal: denominator 3 has the factor 3, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 3 — it repeats forever
2 1/3: whole part, then 1 ÷ 3
Whole part 2 stays in front; divide the fraction part:
| remainder | ×10 | = digit × 3 + new remainder | digit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10 | 3 × 3 + 1 | 3 |
Remainder 1 is back after the 1st division → the digit 3 repeats forever: 0.3.
2 + 0.3 = 2.3
