What is 8 7/6 as a decimal?
Answer
Fraction 8 7/6 as a decimal is
9.16
≈ 9.17 to hundredths
Repeating decimal: denominator 6 = 2 × 3 has the factor 3, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 6 — it repeats forever
8 7/6: whole part, then 7 ÷ 6
7 = 1 × 6 + 1: whole part 8 + 1 = 9, then divide the remainder 1
| remainder | ×10 | = digit × 6 + new remainder | digit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10 | 1 × 6 + 4 | 1 |
| 4 | 40 | 6 × 6 + 4 | 6 |
Remainder 4 repeats from the 2nd digit on → 0.16.
9 + 0.16 = 9.16
