23/24 as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

It is a simple question on decimal conversion. To understand this, we need to learn about fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part of a whole and is composed of two parts: the numerator (the top number), which indicates how many parts we have, and the denominator (the bottom number), which shows how many parts make up the whole. A decimal is a way to represent numbers that are not whole, using a decimal point (.) to separate the whole part from the fractional part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole part, and those to the right represent the fractional part.

What is 23/24 as a decimal?

23/24 as a decimal

 

Answer

 

23/24 in decimals can be written as 0.9583. It is a terminating decimal, meaning it ends after a certain number of digits.

 

Explanation

 

To convert 23/24 to a decimal, we will use division. Here, since 23 is smaller than 24, we will use the decimal method. Let's break down the step-by-step process:

 

Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator. The numerator (23) is the dividend, and the denominator (24) is the divisor.

 

Step 2: Since 23 is smaller than 24, it can't be divided directly. We will use decimals and add 0 to the dividend, making it 230, and add a decimal point in the quotient place.

 

Step 3: Now divide 230 by 24. We find 24 goes into 230 nine times (24 × 9 = 216).

 

Step 4: Subtract 216 from 230 to get 14.

 

Step 5: Bring down another 0, making it 140. Divide 140 by 24 to find it goes five times (24 × 5 = 120).

 

Step 6: Subtract 120 from 140 to get 20. Bring down another 0, making it 200. Divide 200 by 24 to find it goes eight times (24 × 8 = 192).

 

Step 7: Subtract 192 from 200 to get 8. Bring down another 0 to make it 80. Divide 80 by 24 to find it goes three times (24 × 3 = 72). The remainder is now 8, and because this process will continue with repeating numbers after this point, we stop here.

 

Therefore, 23/24 as a decimal will be approximately 0.9583.
