41/100 as a Decimal

Answer

41/100 in decimals can be written as 0.41. It is a terminating decimal as it ends after two decimal places.

Explanation

To get 41/100 in decimal form, we will use the division method. Here, since 41 is smaller than 100, we will take the help of the decimal method, which will give us 0.41. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:

Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator because the numerator (41) will be taken as the dividend, and the denominator (100) will be taken as the divisor.

Step 2: As 41 is smaller than 100, it can't be divided directly; here, we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, which will make 41 as 410 and add a decimal point in the quotient place.

Step 3: Now that it is 410, we can divide it by 100. Let's see how many times 100 makes 410.

Step 4: 100 goes into 410 four times, as 100 × 4 = 400. We will write 4 in the quotient place and subtract 400 from 410, which gives 10.

Step 5: Bring down another 0 in the dividend place, making it 100, and then repeat the division process.

Step 6: 100 goes into 100 one time, as 100 × 1 = 100. We will write 1 in the quotient place, and there is no remainder.

The process stops here, and the answer for 41/100 as a decimal is 0.41.
