73/10 as a Decimal

Answer

73/10 in decimals can be written as 7.3. It is a terminating decimal, meaning it ends after a finite number of digits.

Explanation

To get 73/10 in decimal, we will use the division method. Here, as 73 is greater than 10, we will divide directly. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:

Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator because the numerator (73) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (10) will be taken as the divisor.

Step 2: As 73 is greater than 10, we can divide it directly.

Step 3: 10 goes into 73 a total of 7 times (since 10 × 7 = 70). We will write 7 in the quotient place.

Step 4: Subtract 70 from 73 to get a remainder of 3.

Step 5: Bring down a 0 to the remainder to make it 30, and divide by 10 again.

Step 6: 10 goes into 30 exactly 3 times (since 10 × 3 = 30). We will write 3 in the decimal place of the quotient. The division process results in the quotient 7.3, which is a terminating decimal.

The answer for 73/10 as a decimal is 7.3.
