What is 3 8/13 as a decimal?
Answer
Fraction 3 8/13 as a decimal is
3.615384

Repeating decimal: denominator 13 has the factor 13, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 615384 — 6 digits repeat forever
3 8/13: whole part, then 8 ÷ 13
Whole part 3 stays in front; divide the fraction part:
| remainder | ×10 | = digit × 13 + new remainder | digit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | 80 | 6 × 13 + 2 | 6 |
| 2 | 20 | 1 × 13 + 7 | 1 |
| 7 | 70 | 5 × 13 + 5 | 5 |
| 5 | 50 | 3 × 13 + 11 | 3 |
| 11 | 110 | 8 × 13 + 6 | 8 |
| 6 | 60 | 4 × 13 + 8 | 4 |
Remainder 8 is back after the 6th division → the 6 digits 615384 repeat: 0.615384.
3 + 0.615384 = 3.615384
