What is 5 2/14 as a decimal?
Answer
Fraction 5 2/14 as a decimal is
5.142857
≈ 5.14 to hundredths
Repeating decimal: 2/14 = 1/7 · denominator 7 has the factor 7, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 142857 — 6 digits repeat forever
5 2/14: whole part, then 2 ÷ 14
Whole part 5 stays in front; divide the fraction part:
| remainder | ×10 | = digit × 14 + new remainder | digit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 20 | 1 × 14 + 6 | 1 |
| 6 | 60 | 4 × 14 + 4 | 4 |
| 4 | 40 | 2 × 14 + 12 | 2 |
| 12 | 120 | 8 × 14 + 8 | 8 |
| 8 | 80 | 5 × 14 + 10 | 5 |
| 10 | 100 | 7 × 14 + 2 | 7 |
Remainder 2 is back after the 6th division → the 6 digits 142857 repeat: 0.142857.
5 + 0.142857 = 5.142857
