How to convert fractions to repeating decimals?
When converting fractions to decimals, we need to divide the numerator by the denominator.
You can follow these steps, to convert fractions to repeating decimals using long division:
- Perform long division by dividing the numerator (dividend) by the denominator (divisor).
- Continue the division process until either the division terminates (remainder becomes zero) or you obtain the desired level of decimal accuracy.
- If the division does not terminate and there is a remainder, continue the long division process until you observe a repeating pattern. Place a bar (or dots) over the repeating digits to indicate the repeating decimal.
