22/6 as a Decimal

Answer

22/6 in decimals can be written as 3.66666….. It is a recurring decimal, showing it will repeat the same digit infinitely.

Explanation

To get 22/6 in decimal, we will use the division method. Here, as 22 is larger than 6, we can directly divide.

Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator because the numerator (22) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (6) will be taken as the divisor.

Step 2: Divide 22 by 6. The quotient is the whole number part.

Step 3: 6 goes into 22 three times (3 × 6 = 18), leaving a remainder of 4.

Step 4: Bring down a 0 to the remainder, making it 40. Step 5: 6 goes into 40 six times (6 × 6 = 36), leaving a remainder of 4.

Step 6: Bring down another 0, making it 40, and repeat the division process. The division process continues, and we don't get the remainder as 0, indicating this is a recurring decimal.

The answer for 22/6 as a decimal will be 3.6666……
