41/3 as a Decimal

Answer

41/3 in decimals can be written as 13.6666….. It is a recurring decimal, showing it will repeat the same digit infinitely.

Explanation

To get 41/3 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 (41) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (3) will be taken as the divisor.

Step 2: Divide 41 by 3. The whole number part of the quotient will be 13.

Step 3: Calculate the remainder. When 41 is divided by 3, the remainder is 2.

Step 4: Bring down a 0 to make it 20 and continue the division: 3 goes into 20 six times (6×3 = 18), leaving a remainder of 2.

Step 5: Repeat the process, bringing down 0s and finding that 3 goes into 20 six times every time. The division process continues, and we don't get the remainder as 0; this process is called a recurring decimal.

The answer for 41/3 as a decimal will be 13.6666……
