57/220 as a decimal

Answer

57/220 in decimals can be written as 0.25909. It is a non-terminating, non-repeating decimal.

Explanation

To get 57/220 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 the numerator (57) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (220) will be taken as the divisor.

Step 2: As 57 is smaller than 220, it can't be divided directly. Here, we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, which will make 57 as 570 and add a decimal point in the quotient place.

Step 3: Now that it is 570, we can divide it by 220. Let's see how many times 220 fits into 570.

Step 4: 220 fits into 570 two times, since 220 × 2 = 440. We will write 2 in the quotient place and subtract 440 from 570 to get 130.

Step 5: Bring down another 0 in the dividend place to make it 1300 and continue the division process. The division process continues, and we do not get a remainder of 0. This process results in a non-terminating, non-repeating decimal.

The answer for 57/220 as a decimal will be 0.25909.
