What is 2 3/8 as a decimal?
Answer
Fraction 2 3/8 as a decimal is
2.375
Exact, terminating: denominator 8 = 2 × 2 × 2 has only 2s and 5s · 3 decimal places
2 3/8: whole part, then 3 ÷ 8
Whole part 2 stays in front; divide the fraction part:
| remainder | ×10 | = digit × 8 + new remainder | digit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 30 | 3 × 8 + 6 | 3 |
| 6 | 60 | 7 × 8 + 4 | 7 |
| 4 | 40 | 5 × 8 + 0 | 5 |
The remainder reaches 0 after 3 steps → 0.375 ends.
2 + 0.375 = 2.375
