It is a non-terminating decimal, which could represent a rational number or an irrational number.
Nonterminating Decimal: A decimal that continues without end.For example:The square root of 2 = 1.414213562… Therefore, the square root of 2 is a nonterminating decimal.
A non-terminating decimal is a decimal that does not terminate, and goes on forever, and a repeating decimal is a number that continues on forever with a repeated pattern
The only other way is to have a machine do the long division for you.
It is a repeating decimal.
A decimal without a remainder is a whole number or integer.
A terminating decimal is a decimal representation written with a repeating final 0, that is said to end before these zeros. For example, instead of 1.500000..., one would simply write 1.5 without the infinite zeros at the end. In this case, 1.5 is said to be a "terminating decimal number".

Only as an approximation. An irrational number is equivalent to a non-terminating, non-recurring decimal. That is, an infinitely long decimal number without any repeating pattern.

There are several ways. My preference with terminating decimals, is to carry out the division using the divisor without a decimal point. Then if the divisor had n digits after the decimal point, it is to move the decimal point in the quotient n places to the left.So, to calculate 18/4.32,first find 18/432 = 0.0416... with the 6 repeating4.32 has two digits after the decimal point so move the decimal point two digits to the left to give the final answer as 4.16 with the 6 repeating.
The only way, without a calculator, that I know of is long division.
long division then move the decimal point
You cannot do this easily. First of all, sqrt(2) is an irrational number so it is a non-terminating, non-repeating decimal number and so you will not be able to find its true decimal value.There is a method which is a bit like long division except that the divisor gets longer at each step. It is not easy to explain in words and the browser used here is rubbish.
