29/5 as a Decimal

Answer

29/5 in decimals can be written as 5.8. It is a terminating decimal, meaning it does not repeat infinitely.

Explanation

To get 29/5 in decimal, we will use the division method. Here, 29 is greater than 5, so 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 (29) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (5) will be taken as the divisor.

Step 2: Divide 29 by 5.

Step 3: 5 goes into 29 five times (5 × 5 = 25). Place 5 in the quotient place.

Step 4: Subtract 25 from 29, which gives a remainder of 4.

Step 5: Bring down a 0 to make it 40 and add a decimal point in the quotient place.

Step 6: Now, divide 40 by 5, which goes exactly 8 times (5 × 8 = 40).

Step 7: Subtract 40 from 40, which gives a remainder of 0. The division process stops as we reach a remainder of 0.

The answer for 29/5 as a decimal will be 5.8.
