What is 7 7/3 as a decimal?

Answer

Fraction 7 7/3 as a decimal is

9.3

≈ 9.33 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 7 + 2 = 9, 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.

9 + 0.3 = 9.3
