41/9 as a Decimal

Answer

41/9 in decimals can be written as 4.55555….. It is a recurring decimal, showing it will repeat the same digit infinitely.

Explanation

To get 41/9 in decimal, we will use the division method. Here as 41 is larger than 9, we can divide directly. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process.

Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator because the numerator (41) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (9) will be taken as the divisor.

Step 2: Divide 41 by 9. The nearest multiple of 9 is 36 (9 × 4), so we write 4 in the quotient place. Subtract 36 from 41, which gives a remainder of 5.

Step 3: Bring down a 0 to make it 50. Divide 50 by 9. The nearest multiple of 9 is 45 (9 × 5), so we write 5 in the quotient place. Subtract 45 from 50, which gives a remainder of 5.

Step 4: Bring down another 0 to make it 50 again and repeat the division process. The division process continues, and we don't get the remainder as 0, so this process is called a recurring decimal.

The answer for 41/9 as a decimal will be 4.5555……
