Before you study how to convert proper fraction into decimal, you are advised to read What is Proper Fraction ? In order to convert a proper fraction into decimal, divide numerator by denominator in long division method. Example - Convert 2 3 into decimal In the given fraction we have: Numerator = 2 Denominator = 5 Steps of converting fraction into decimal in long division method are as follows: Step 1: Dividend = Numerator = 2 Divisor = Denominator = 5 Place divisor and dividend as shown below: Step 2: As divisor (5) is greater than dividend 2, so we will write Zero in the quotient, as shown below: Step 3: Place decimal point after 2 in dividend and after Zero in quotient, as shown below: Step 4: Now, in dividend write Zero next to decimal point, as shown below: (Note: we can write as many zero as are required to complete the division) Step 5: As dividend is 20 (ignore decimal point), so we can divide it by divisor (5). We know that 20 is the multiple of 5 and on dividing 20 by 5 we get 4. So, we write 20 in the dividend column and 4 in quotient after decimal point; as shown below: Step 6: In the last, we get remainder as Zero (as shown below); so long division method also ends here. Hence, fraction 2 3 is equal to decimal 0.4
