What is 2 7/6 as a decimal?

Answer

Fraction 2 7/6 as a decimal is

3.16

≈ 3.17 to hundredths

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

2 7/6: whole part, then 7 ÷ 6

7 = 1 × 6 + 1: whole part 2 + 1 = 3, then divide the remainder 1

remainder	×10	= digit × 6 + new remainder	digit
1	10	1 × 6 + 4	1
4	40	6 × 6 + 4	6

Remainder 4 repeats from the 2nd digit on → 0.16.

3 + 0.16 = 3.16
