To convert a fraction to a decimal divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number)

4/9 = 4 ÷ 9 = 0.444... (the 4 recurs)

To show a recurring decimal of a single digit a dot is written over it, so 4/9 would be written as 0.4 with a dot over the 4.

To show a recurring decimal with more than one digit recurring a dot is written over the first and last recurring digits, for example 2/11 would written as 0.18 with a dot over the 1 and another dot over the 8.

Recurring decimals can be rounded to give an approximate answer; examples 4/9 ≈ 0.444, 1/6 ≈ 0.167
