What is 8 3/11 as a decimal?

Answer

Fraction 8 3/11 as a decimal is

8.27

≈ 8.27 to hundredths

Repeating decimal: denominator 11 has the factor 11, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 27 — 2 digits repeat forever

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

remainder	×10	= digit × 11 + new remainder	digit
3	30	2 × 11 + 8	2
8	80	7 × 11 + 3	7

Remainder 3 is back after the 2nd division → the 2 digits 27 repeat: 0.27.

8 + 0.27 = 8.27

Fraction 8 3/11 as a decimal is 8.(27)

To convert 8 3/11 to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator, 3 ÷ 11 = 0.(27), then add the whole part: 8 + 0.(27) = 8.(27).

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 3/11 ≈ 827.27%.
