1/8 = 0.125
5,798 to 3 decimals
The decimals increase incrementally by 0.125 for each eighth added. So 0 eighths is 0, 1 eighth is 0.125, 2 eighths is 0.25, etc.
0.625
One quarter is two eighths, so five eighths subtract two eighths is three eighths.
The decimals equivalent of three twenty fourths (or one eighths) is .125 This can be determined by typing 3 divided by 24 into a calculator or by long division.

'7/8' means seven divided by eight. '. Set up your division bracket 8)7.00000 = Note the position of the '7' , the decimal point and the 'zeroes'. We say '8' into '7' won't go , so '0' in the answer then carry the decimal point into the answer. Hence 8)70000 = 0. We now say '8' into '70' goes '8' times(=64) , with a remainder of '6' So the answer now becomes 8)700000 = 0.8 The remainder is carried to the next '0' to read '60'. We now say '8' into '60' goes '7' times(=56) , with a remainder of '4' So the answer now becomes 8)70000... = 0.87 The remainder is carried to the next '0' to read '40' We now say '8' into '40' goes '5' times(=40 ) , with NO remainder. So the answer now becomes 8)70000 - 0.875 Since there is no remainder , the division stops and the 0.875 is the answer. 7/8 = 0.875 This method is good for all fraction/ decimal conversion. However, you will find that some fractions on conversion repeat to infinity. e.g. 1/3 = 0.3333.... The 'stops/periods' indicate to mathematicians the repetition is to infinity.
