Steps to Solve
-
Set up the division To convert the fraction $ \frac{4}{25} $ into a decimal, you need to divide 4 by 25.
-
Perform the division When you divide 4 by 25, you will setup the long division as follows:
- 25 goes into 4, which is 0 times.
- Now add a decimal point and a zero, making it 40.
- Continue dividing Now divide 40 by 25.
- 25 goes into 40 once (1).
- Multiply 1 by 25 getting 25, then subtract it from 40 to get 15.
- Bring down the next zero Now bring down another zero, making it 150.
- 25 goes into 150 six times (6).
- Multiply 6 by 25 getting 150, then subtract it from 150 which gives 0.
Now, we see that the division is complete.
- Combine the results The final result represents: $$ \frac{4}{25} = 0.16 $$
The decimal form of $ \frac{4}{25} $ is $ 0.16 $.
