19/12 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: numerator (number on the top) here, 19 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 12. A decimal is a way to represent the number that is not whole, using a (.) or a decimal to separate the whole part from the fraction part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and that to the right represents the fractional part.

What is 19/12 as a decimal?

19/12 as a decimal

 

Answer

 

19/12 in decimals can be written as 1.5833... It is a recurring decimal, indicating that after a certain point, the digits repeat infinitely.

 

Explanation

 

To convert 19/12 into a decimal, we will use the division method. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:

 

Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator because the numerator (19) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (12) will be taken as the divisor.

 

Step 2: Divide 19 by 12 to get the whole number part, which is 1.

 

Step 3: Subtract 12 from 19, which leaves a remainder of 7.

 

Step 4: Bring down a 0 to make it 70, then divide 70 by 12.

 

Step 5: 12 goes into 70 five times, as 12 × 5 = 60. Subtract 60 from 70 to get 10.

 

Step 6: Bring down another 0 to make it 100, then divide 100 by 12.

 

Step 7: 12 goes into 100 eight times, as 12 × 8 = 96. Subtract 96 from 100 to get 4.

 

Step 8: Bring down another 0 to make it 40, then divide 40 by 12.

 

Step 9: 12 goes into 40 three times, as 12 × 3 = 36. Subtract 36 from 40 to get 4, and the process repeats. This division process continues without terminating, resulting in a recurring decimal.

 

The answer for 19/12 as a decimal is 1.5833...
