5/8 is Nothing but to divide 5 into 8 parts.


 


 


As 5 is smaller than 8, the quotient starts with a decimal point to make 5 as 50 to be divisible by 8. (0.)


 


 


Now 50 goes for 6 times in 8 leaving a remainder 2. (0.6)


 


  


Again 2 is smaller than 8, As it already has decimal point in the quotient, now 2 becomes 20.


 


  


Now 20 goes for 2 times in 8 leaving a remainder 4. (0.62)


 


  


Again 4 is smaller than 8, As it already has decimal point in the quotient, now 4 becomes 40.


 


 


Now 40 goes for 5 times in 8 leaving a remainder 0. (0.625)


 


 


Therefore, the decimal value of  5 8  is 0.625.


 


Now find a decimal value of 11 17  and Discuss your at Discuss.
