33/4 as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part from the whole. It has two parts: the numerator (number on the top) here, 33, representing how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole; here, it is 4. A decimal is a way to represent a number that is not whole, using a (.) or a decimal to separate the whole part from the fractional part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and those to the right represent the fractional part.

What is 33/4 as a decimal?

33/4 as a decimalAnswer

 

33/4 in decimals can be written as 8.25. It is a terminating decimal because it does not repeat infinitely.

 

Explanation

 

To convert 33/4 into a decimal, we will use the division method. Here, the numerator (33) will be taken as the dividend, and the denominator (4) will be taken as the divisor. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:

 

Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator. The numerator (33) is the dividend, and the denominator (4) is the divisor.

 

Step 2: Perform the division. 33 divided by 4 gives 8 with a remainder.

 

Step 3: Since 33 is not a perfect multiple of 4, divide 32 by 4, which equals 8. Subtract 32 from 33 to get a remainder of 1.

 

Step 4: Bring down a 0 to make it 10 and continue the division process. 10 divided by 4 equals 2 with a remainder.

 

Step 5: Subtract 8 from 10 to get a remainder of 2. Bring down another 0 to make it 20 and complete the division process.

 

Step 6: 20 divided by 4 equals 5, with no remainder.

 

This process results in a terminating decimal, and 33/4 as a decimal is 8.25.
