What is a Decimal?

A decimal is a way of writing fractions using a decimal point. The digits after the decimal point represent parts of a whole number.

Converting Fractions to Decimals

To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator. For example, with 4/9:

4 ÷ 9 = 0.4444... (repeating)

Types of Decimals

  • Terminating decimals: The division ends with a final digit (like 1/4 = 0.25)
  • Repeating decimals: The digits after the decimal point repeat indefinitely (like 4/9 = 0.444...)
