The Long Division Method

Formula: Decimal = Numerator ÷ Denominator

Every fraction is essentially a division problem. The line between the two numbers (the vinculum) means "divided by."

  • 3/4 means 3 divided by 4 = 0.75
  • 5/8 means 5 divided by 8 = 0.625
  • 1/3 means 1 divided by 3 = 0.333 (Repeating)
