What is 3 5/6 as a decimal?

Answer

Fraction 3 5/6 as a decimal is

3.83

≈ 3.83 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

3 5/6: whole part, then 5 ÷ 6

Whole part 3 stays in front; divide the fraction part:

remainder	×10	= digit × 6 + new remainder	digit
5	50	8 × 6 + 2	8
2	20	3 × 6 + 2	3

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

3 + 0.83 = 3.83
