19/4 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 of the whole. It has two parts: the numerator (the number on the top) here, 19 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (the number below) shows how many parts make the whole; here, it is 4. A decimal is a way to represent a number that is not whole, using a (.) to separate the whole part from the fractional part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and those to the right represent the fractional part.

What is 19/4 as a decimal?

19/4 as a decimal

 

Answer

 

19/4 in decimal can be written as 4.75. It is a terminating decimal, meaning it does not repeat infinitely.

 

Explanation

 

To get 19/4 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 (19) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (4) will be taken as the divisor.

 

Step 2: Divide 19 by 4.

 

Step 3: 4 goes into 19 four times (4 × 4 = 16). Write 4 in the quotient place and subtract 16 from 19, which gives 3.

 

Step 4: Bring down a 0 to make it 30.

 

Step 5: 4 goes into 30 seven times (4 × 7 = 28). Write 7 in the quotient place after the decimal and subtract 28 from 30, which gives 2.

 

Step 6: Bring down another 0 to make it 20. Step 7: 4 goes into 20 five times (4 × 5 = 20) and subtract 20 from 20, which gives 0.

 

The division process terminates here, so the answer for 19/4 as a decimal is 4.75.
