1/19 as a Decimal

Answer

1/19 in decimals can be written as 0.052631578947368421..... It is a non-recurring decimal, showing it will have a specific pattern before repeating.

Explanation

To get 1/19 in decimal, we will use the division method. Here as 1 is smaller than 19, we will take help of the decimal method, which will give us 0.052631578947368421. 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 (19) will be taken as the divisor.

Step 2: As 1 is smaller than 19, it can't be divided by itself; here, we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, which will make 1 as 10 and add a decimal point in the quotient place.

Step 3: Now that it is 10, we can continue the division by 19. Since 10 is smaller than 19, we add another zero to the dividend and continue.

Step 4: Now, it's 100 divided by 19. Calculate the whole number part of the division, which is 5. Subtract 95 (19 × 5) from 100 to get 5.

Step 5: Bring down another 0 to make it 50, and repeat the division process. Continue this process until you reach a repeating pattern or stop when the desired precision is achieved.

The answer for 1/19 as a decimal will be 0.052631578947368421....
