What is 5 7/3 as a decimal?
Answer
Fraction 5 7/3 as a decimal is
7.3
≈ 7.33 to hundredths
Repeating decimal: denominator 3 has the factor 3, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 3 — it repeats forever
5 7/3: whole part, then 7 ÷ 3
7 = 2 × 3 + 1: whole part 5 + 2 = 7, 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.
7 + 0.3 = 7.3
