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.
They terminate after at most three digits.
0.625
1/8 = 0.1250
1/8=0.125,2/8=0.25,3/8=0.375,4/8=0.5,5/8=0.625,6/8=0.75,7/8=0.875,8/8=1.0 :D

'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.
1/8 = 0.1250
