What is 5 8/3 as a decimal?
Answer
Fraction 5 8/3 as a decimal is
7.6
≈ 7.67 to hundredths
Repeating decimal: denominator 3 has the factor 3, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 6 — it repeats forever
5 8/3: whole part, then 8 ÷ 3
8 = 2 × 3 + 2: whole part 5 + 2 = 7, then divide the remainder 2
| remainder | ×10 | = digit × 3 + new remainder | digit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 20 | 6 × 3 + 2 | 6 |
Remainder 2 is back after the 1st division → the digit 6 repeats forever: 0.6.
7 + 0.6 = 7.6
