Well, isn't that a happy little question! To write a remainder as a decimal, you simply divide the remainder by the divisor. This will give you a decimal representation of the remaining part. Just remember, there are no mistakes, just happy little accidents in math!
By a mixed number if you mean say 1 1/4 . So to convert 1 1/4 to a decimal, the coefficient '1' remains as '1'. We then take '1/4' This means one divided by '4'. You will say cannot be done, but oh!!! yes it can . Set up your division bracket. 4)1.0000 Note the decimal point and the 'string of zeroes'. We say 4 divided into '1' won't go. So zero in the answer , then carry the decimal point into the answer. With a remainder of '1' 4)10.000 = 0. The remainder of '1' is carried onto the first decimal zero so its reads '10'. We say 4 divided into '10' will go, answer is '2' (8) and a remainder of '2' So zero in the answer , then carry the decimal point into the answer. With a remainder of '2 So 4)100.0 = 0.2...' The remainder '2' is carried on to the second decimal , so it reads '20' We say 4 divided into '20' will go, answer is '5' (20) and NO remainder. Since there is no remainder the division is complete. Hence 4)100.0 = 0.25 Add the 0.25 to the coefficient '1' so we have 1.25 = 1 1/4

Instead of leaving it as a remainder add an extra zero and carry over the remainder to the zero and do this until you have no more numbers to carry over. For example: 18 / 4 = 4 remainder 2 Put a point zero after the 18.0, then write a little 2 before the 0 4)18.20 20 divided by 4 = 5 so your answer is 4.5
Put the remainder over the divisor. 20 divided by 7 equals 2 remainder 6 or 2 and 6/7.

92 divided by 38 equals 2 with a remainder of 16.
You can't divide something as a remainder, you must forst put it into decimal form. You can do this by dividing two by whatever the number you divided by in the equation that resulted in the answer '19 remainder 2.'
