What is 6 2/7 as a decimal?
Answer
Fraction 6 2/7 as a decimal is
6.285714
≈ 6.29 to hundredths
Repeating decimal: denominator 7 has the factor 7, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 285714 — 6 digits repeat forever
6 2/7: whole part, then 2 ÷ 7
Whole part 6 stays in front; divide the fraction part:
| remainder | ×10 | = digit × 7 + new remainder | digit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 20 | 2 × 7 + 6 | 2 |
| 6 | 60 | 8 × 7 + 4 | 8 |
| 4 | 40 | 5 × 7 + 5 | 5 |
| 5 | 50 | 7 × 7 + 1 | 7 |
| 1 | 10 | 1 × 7 + 3 | 1 |
| 3 | 30 | 4 × 7 + 2 | 4 |
Remainder 2 is back after the 6th division → the 6 digits 285714 repeat: 0.285714.
6 + 0.285714 = 6.285714
