example 16.85 / 2.6547, multiply top and bottom by 10 000, gives
168 500 / 26 547, this gets rid of the decimal points but the answer will be the same, now long divide.

How do you turn an improper fraction into a percent?
Please excuse my past self for my bad english skills, but I have edited my mistakes and included a few more tips along with the basic structures.You can easily change an improper fraction into a percent, the steps are very simple to follow: Divide the numerator by the denominator, multiply that by 100, and convert the decimal point into a %.Example:The fraction in this example is 5/4 with 5 as the numerator and 4 as the denominator. First, divide the numerator by the denominator.(5/4) = 1.25Move the original decimal two digits to the right.1.25 -> 125.After that is done, simply turn the decimal into a percentage .125. -> 125%Done!Or if you'd rather view this example the quicker way...Fraction: 5/45 divided by 4 = 1.25Move the decimal two digits to the right, it will then become a %.More specifically, 125%On the other hand, for decimals with longer digits after the point, you would keep the decimal and also add a percentage sign at the end of the number, no matter how bizarre the new value may look.Example:Number: 4.375Move the decimal two digits to the right.4.375 -> 437.5Change the decimal point into a percent sign.437.5%This should clear up any mishaps and misunderstandings, but it's always healthy to ask questions.
How do you order these numbers from least to greatest 75092 137 8000 144 8710022?
137, 144, 8000, 75092, 8710022 A longer number (not counting anything to the right of the decimal point) is greater than a shorter number. For numbers of the same length, compare the digits one at a time, starting from the left.
How do you turn a decimal into a mixed number?
Converting mixed numbers to decimals A mixed number is one containing a whole number and a fraction, such as 3 1/3 (three and one third) or 2 3/5 (two and three fifths). Converting mixed numbers to decimals is nothing more complicated than converting any fraction to a decimal. The whole number part of the mixed fraction will convert directly to the part of the decimal to the left of the decimal point. The fractional part, however, is more trouble, because that represents the part of the decimal to the right of the decimal point. To do that conversion, you need to know your fraction/decimal equivalents by rote (that is, you have to have them memorized), or you need to be able to do simple division. You should have certain proper fractions memorized. Here's a short list of the most important ones. 1/2 = 0.5 1/3 = 0.333 1/4 = 0.25 1/5 = 0.2 1/6 = 0.167 1/7 = 0.143 1/8 = 0.125 1/9 = 0.111 1/10 = 0.1 3/8 = 0.325 5/8 = 0.625 Therefore, 3 3/8 = 3.325. And 2 1/5 = 2.2. Note that you can quickly figure out in your head fractions that are multiples of the ones listed. For example, if you know that 1/3 = 0.333, you can know that 2/3 must be 0.666. Similarly, if you know that 1/5 is 0.2, you know that 2/5 is 0.4, 3/5 is 0.6, and 4/5 is 0.8. On the other hand, some fractions must be calculated using division because they are not worth committing to memory. If the fraction is 7/11, then you will have to use paper and pencil or a calculator to divide 7 by 11 (which is 0.636). So, 3 7/11 (three and seven elevenths) = 3.636.Change it into an improper fraction and then divide the numerator by the denominator as for example 3 and 3/4 = 15/4 = 3.75Change it into an improper fraction and then divide the numerator by the denominator as for example 3 and 3/4 = 15/4 = 3.75Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction, then divide the denominator into the numerator.
Why do some numbers have two dots above them?
These appear in decimal representations AFTER the decimal point. The two dots indicate the start and end of a string of numbers that should be repeated infinitely to get an exact decimal equivalent. If there is only one digit to be repeated, the two dots are replace by one. For example, 1/11 = 0.090909 and on and on forever. This can be written with a dot over a 0 and and 9. I can't do that here but will put a dot superscript just after the digit, thus: 1/11 = 0.09.0. or 0.0.9. or, for a longer repeating string, 9/7 = 1.285714285714.... = 1.2.85714.
Do large numbers give longer number chains?
Most of the time, but large prime numbers still have only two factors.
How do you add and subtract integers with decimals?
The same as integers without decimals. Just make sure the decimals are directly above and below one another. Use zeros as placeholders if you don't have enough numbers, that is, if one decimal is longer than the other.
Why is it better to right align numbers?
So the decimal points line up and you can have a visual clue that larger numbers are longer.
Is three fifths a lowest term?
Yes. Because you can no longer divide the numorator and the denominator by a number because they are prime numbers
How do you divide circumference by 3.14 if theres a decimal?
When dividing by decimals, the easiest way to do this is to modify the question so that there is no longer a decimal in the divisor. Just as with equivalent fractions, if we multiply the dividend and the divisor by the same number, we do not actually change the question. For example, consider 1 divided by 0.2 (ie 1 / 0.2) Start by multiplying the dividend and the divisor by 10 to remove the decimal in the divisor. This changes the problem to 10 / 2. We can now evaluate the division to give 10/2=5. In your specific case where you want to divide by 3.14, you would times both the dividend and the divisor by 100 to remove the decimal in the divisor. For example 6.28 / 3.14 = 628 / 314 = 2
When dividing decimals the divisor must always be a?
The divisor must always be a whole number. If it is not already, then you must multiply both the the divisor and dividend by ten until the divisor is no longer a decimal. For example, let's say you have to divide 1.0/0.5 . The divisor in this case would be 0.5 . To multiply by ten, simply move the decimal over to the right one space. That would leave you with 5.0, but since you have to do it on both sides, the final expression would look like this: 10/5 .
How do i write 0.24 as a fraction in its lowest form?
24/ 100= 0.24 keep reducing this down (divide by 2) 12/50---->6/25.... you can't reduce 6/25 any longer without it beeing a decimal. 24/ 100= 0.24 keep reducing this down (divide by 2) 12/50---->6/25.... you can't reduce 6/25 any longer without it beeing a decimal.
How do you convert a decimal into a percent?
Multiply the decimal by 100. For example, let's use 0.68 0.68 * 100 = 68, thus 0.68 = 68%. To further illustrate this example, imagine taking a test with 100 questions and getting 68 of them correct. Your score would be 68/100. 68/100 is equivalent to the decimal 0.68, which is equivalent to the percentage 68%. 100/100 would be equivalent to 1, which is equivalent to the percentage 100%. In the case of a longer decimal, such as 0.672, you follow the same procedure. 0.672 * 100 = 67.2, thus 0.672 = 67.2%. If the decimal is greater than one, you still follow the same procedure. Let's use 3.786. 3.786 * 100 = 378.6, thus 3.786 = 378.6%
How many decimals in a hole?
None. There is nothing in a hole because if there were, it would no longer be a hole!
How to get a percentage of a number?
Multiply it by 100. This moves the decimal point so that your answer is no longer in decimal form :)
How do you simplify fractions such as 6 over 30?
divide both numbers (if even, as in your case) by 2. It equals 3/15. Since you can continue, divide again, but this time, they are both divisible by 3, so divide by 3. It equals 1/5. Since you can no longer divide evenly, 6/30 simplified is 1/5. or, a faster way is divide 6/30 by 6. It still equals 1/5.
What is a longer walk 0.8 miles or 0.14 miles?
0.8 miles is longer. Sine the number before the decimal is the same, look at the first number after the decimal and the bigger number is the longer
What is bigger A decimal or a comma?
comma, the line makes it longer
