1/128 as a Decimal

Answer

1/128 in decimals can be written as 0.0078125. It is a terminating decimal, meaning it ends and does not repeat infinitely.

Explanation

To get 1/128 in decimal, we will use the division method. Here, as 1 is smaller than 128, we use the decimal method to get 0.0078125. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:

Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator because the numerator (1) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (128) will be taken as the divisor.

Step 2: As 1 is smaller than 128, it can't be divided. Here, we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, which makes 1 as 10, and add a decimal point in the quotient place.

Step 3: Continue adding zeros to the dividend until it is large enough to be divided by 128.

Step 4: 1000 divided by 128 gives approximately 7.8125.

The quotient is 0.0078125.
