What is 8 2/11 as a decimal?

Answer

Fraction 8 2/11 as a decimal is

8.18

≈ 8.18 to hundredths

Repeating decimal: denominator 11 has the factor 11, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 18 — 2 digits repeat forever

Whole part 8 stays in front; divide the fraction part:

remainder	×10	= digit × 11 + new remainder	digit
2	20	1 × 11 + 9	1
9	90	8 × 11 + 2	8

Remainder 2 is back after the 2nd division → the 2 digits 18 repeat: 0.18.

8 + 0.18 = 8.18

Fraction 8 2/11 as a decimal is 8.(18)

To convert 8 2/11 to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator, 2 ÷ 11 = 0.(18), then add the whole part: 8 + 0.(18) = 8.(18).

In lowest terms its denominator 11 has the prime factor 11, so the division never ends: a remainder comes back and the same digits repeat forever.

Multiply by 100: 8 2/11 ≈ 818.18%.
