1/52 as a Decimal

Answer

1/52 in decimals can be written as 0.019230769230769.... It is a repeating decimal, showing it will repeat a sequence of digits infinitely.

Explanation

To get 1/52 in decimal, we will use the division method. Here as 1 is smaller than 52, we will take help of the decimal method which will give us 0.019230769230769....

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 (52) will be taken as the divisor.

Step 2: As 1 is smaller than 52, it can't be divided, 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 divide it by 52. Since 10 is smaller than 52, we bring down another 0, making it 100.

Step 4: 52 goes into 100 one time, so write 1 in the quotient place and subtract 52 from 100, giving 48.

Step 5: Bring down another 0, making it 480, and divide by 52. Continue this process until the division results in a repeating sequence of digits. The division process continues with the remainder not reaching 0, indicating a repeating decimal.

The answer for 1/52 as a decimal will be 0.019230769230769....
