FRACTION TO DECIMAL BY DIVISION METHOD

In this method Denominator < Numerator

And we have to  Denominator )  Numerator (

Step.1) Divide Numerator by the Denominator

Step.2) Complete the division, let a non-zero remainder be left.

Step.3) Put a decimal point in the quotient 

Step.4) Put a zero on the right of the remainder and divide again just like the whole number. 

Step.5) Repeat step 4 again and again till the reminder becomes ‘0’ Zero.

So, the decimal number of the given fraction is 3.75   (Ans.)

                             35

Example.2)  Convert   ---------   into Decimal fraction.

                              8
