What is 2 7/3 as a decimal?

Answer

Fraction 2 7/3 as a decimal is
4.3

≈ 4.33 to hundredths

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

2 7/3: whole part, then 7 ÷ 3

7 = 2 × 3 + 1: whole part 2 + 2 = 4, then divide the remainder 1

remainder×10= digit × 3 + new remainderdigit
1103 × 3 + 13

Remainder 1 is back after the 1st division → the digit 3 repeats forever: 0.3.

4 + 0.3 = 4.3
