How do you change rational number to decimal?

Converting a rational number to a decimal using long division. For example if you have a rational number of 2/5 you would set up the equation as 2 divided by 5 which requires long division. The answer to this would then be the decimal number 0.4.


How do you do fractional as decimal?

You undertake a long division. Any fraction is a rational number and so its decimal representation must be terminating or recurring. A terminating decimal will mean that the long division reaches a point when the remainder is zero. A recurring decimal sequence is equivalent to the long division going through a cycle of remainders.

Is decimal a rational number?

It depends. A terminating decimal is a rational number. A decimal which, after a finite number of places, becomes a repeating (or recurrent) decimal is also a rational number. A decimal that is not terminating, nor [eventually] settles into a recurring pattern is not a rational number. Note that the decimal need not become recurring immediately.
