Question

Convert 5/6 into a decimal using long division

Answer 1

$\frac{5}{6}$ = 0.8333....

Step-by-step explanation:

Here 6 is the divisor and 5 is the dividend, and 5 is lesser than 6, so in the quotient we have to put 0 then a decimal point and 0 along with 5, so the dividend becomes 50, 8 times 6 is 48, 50 - 48 = 2, then add one more 0 with 2, so it becomes 20, 3 times 6 is 18 again, 2 is the remainder and this process is going on. So the quotient is 0.8333...

So $\frac{5}{6}$ = 0.8333....
