What is 4 7/3 as a decimal?

Answer

Fraction 4 7/3 as a decimal is

6.3

≈ 6.33 to hundredths

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

7 = 2 × 3 + 1: whole part 4 + 2 = 6, then divide the remainder 1

remainder	×10	= digit × 3 + new remainder	digit
1	10	3 × 3 + 1	3

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

6 + 0.3 = 6.3

To convert 4 7/3 to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator, 7 ÷ 3 = 2.(3), then add the whole part: 4 + 2.(3) = 6.(3).

In lowest terms its denominator 3 has the prime factor 3, so the division never ends: a remainder comes back and the same digits repeat forever.

Multiply by 100: 4 7/3 ≈ 633.33%.
