    What is 2 5/6 as a decimal?

    Answer

    Fraction 2 5/6 as a decimal is
    2.83

    ≈ 2.83 to hundredths

    Repeating decimal: denominator 6 = 2 × 3 has the factor 3, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 3 — it repeats forever

    2 5/6: whole part, then 5 ÷ 6

    Whole part 2 stays in front; divide the fraction part:

    remainder×10= digit × 6 + new remainderdigit
    5508 × 6 + 28
    2203 × 6 + 23

    Remainder 2 repeats from the 2nd digit on → 0.83.

    2 + 0.83 = 2.83
