63/4 as a Decimal

Answer

63/4 in decimals can be written as 15.75. It is a terminating decimal.

Explanation

To get 63/4 in decimal, we will use the division method. Here, 63 is larger than 4, so we can directly divide without needing to use a decimal point initially. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:

Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator because the numerator (63) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (4) will be taken as the divisor.

Step 2: Divide 63 by 4.

Step 3: 4 goes into 63 a total of 15 times (4 × 15 = 60). Write 15 in the quotient place.

Step 4: Subtract 60 from 63, which gives 3.

Step 5: Bring down a 0 to make it 30 and divide by 4 again.

Step 6: 4 goes into 30 a total of 7 times (4 × 7 = 28). Write 7 in the quotient place after the decimal point.

Step 7: Subtract 28 from 30, which gives 2. Bring down a 0 to make it 20.

Step 8: 4 goes into 20 exactly 5 times (4 × 5 = 20). Write 5 in the next decimal place. The process ends here as there is no remainder.

The answer for 63/4 as a decimal will be 15.75.
