25/3 as a Decimal

Answer

25/3 in decimals can be written as 8.33333….. It is a recurring decimal, showing it will repeat the same digit infinitely.

Explanation

To get 25/3 in decimal, we will use the division method. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:

Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator because the numerator (25) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (3) will be taken as the divisor.

Step 2: Divide 25 by 3. We find that 3 goes into 25 eight times (3 × 8 = 24). Write 8 in the quotient place and subtract 24 from 25 to get 1.

Step 3: Bring down a 0 to make it 10. Divide 10 by 3.

Step 4: 10 divided by 3 gives 3 (3 × 3 = 9). Write 3 in the quotient place and subtract 9 from 10 to get 1.

Step 5: Bring down another 0 to make it 10 and repeat the division process. This division process continues, and we don't get the remainder as 0; this process is called a recurring decimal.

The answer for 25/3 as a decimal will be 8.3333……
