37/9 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, 37 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 9. 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.

37/9 as a decimal

Answer

 

37/9 in decimals can be written as 4.11111….. It is a recurring decimal, showing it will repeat the same digit infinitely.

 

Explanation

 

To get 37/9 in 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 numerator (37) will be taken as dividend and denominator (9) will be taken as divisor.

 

Step 2: Divide 37 by 9. 9 goes into 37 four times, since 9 × 4 = 36.

 

Step 3: Subtract 36 from 37 gives 1.

 

Step 4: Bring down a 0, making it 10, and place a decimal point in the quotient.

 

Step 5: 9 goes into 10 once, since 9 × 1 = 9. Subtract 9 from 10 gives 1.

 

Step 6: Bring down another 0 and repeat the division process. The division process continues with a remainder of 1, leading to the recurring decimal.

 

The answer for 37/9 as a decimal will be 4.1111……
