How to convert fractions to decimals ?

Answer 1

Steps to convert fractions into decimals

Defining Terms:

1. The upper part of the fraction is denoted as the numerator.
2. The lower part of the fraction is denoted as the denominator.

Now, divide numerator by denominator after cancelling out common factors and then report the quotient as answer. If the division is non-terminating then stop after $4$ - $5$ division cycles.

Example : Convert $\frac{1}{8}$into decimal.

$80.1251.0008201640400$

So decimal form of $\frac{1}{8}$ is $0.125$.

Hence, these are the steps to convert fractions into decimals.
