What is 2 7/15 as a decimal?

Answer

Fraction 2 7/15 as a decimal is

2.46

≈ 2.47 to hundredths

Repeating decimal: denominator 15 = 3 × 5 has the factor 3, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 6 — it repeats forever

2 7/15: whole part, then 7 ÷ 15

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

remainder	×10	= digit × 15 + new remainder	digit
7	70	4 × 15 + 10	4
10	100	6 × 15 + 10	6

Remainder 10 repeats from the 2nd digit on → 0.46.

2 + 0.46 = 2.46
