257 as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

It is a simple question on decimal representation. Firstly, we have to understand integers and decimals. An integer is a whole number that does not include a fractional component. A decimal is a way to represent numbers that are not whole, using a (.) or a decimal point 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.

Answer

 

257 as a decimal is simply written as 257.0. Since it is an integer, it does not have a fractional part, but it can be expressed with a decimal point followed by a zero to indicate that there is no fractional component.

 

Explanation

 

To write 257 as a decimal, we recognize that it is already a whole number. By adding a decimal point and a zero, we are indicating that there are no fractional parts beyond the whole number. Thus, 257 becomes 257.0 in decimal notation.

 

Step 1: Identify the whole number, which is 257 in this case.

 

Step 2: Add a decimal point and a zero to indicate the absence of fractional parts.

 

The result is 257.0, showing it as a decimal.
