23/9 as a Decimal

Answer

23/9 in decimals can be written as 2.5555….. It is a recurring decimal, indicating it will repeat the same digit infinitely.

Explanation

To convert 23/9 into a decimal, we will use the division method. Here, since 23 is larger than 9, we can directly divide. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:

Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator because the numerator (23) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (9) will be taken as the divisor.

Step 2: Divide 23 by 9. The whole number result is 2 since 9 × 2 = 18.

Step 3: Subtract 18 from 23 to get a remainder of 5.

Step 4: Bring down a 0 to make it 50 and continue the division.

Step 5: Divide 50 by 9, which goes 5 times (9 × 5 = 45). Subtract 45 from 50 to get a remainder of 5.

Step 6: Bring down another 0 and repeat the division process. The division process continues, and we don't get the remainder as 0, indicating a recurring decimal.

The answer for 23/9 as a decimal will be 2.5555……
