Repeating Decimal Calculator
Evaluate the following repeating decimal
8.32
Evaluate the repeated piece
The repeated piece 32 has a length of 2
Therefore, we setup two equations
Equation 1: x = 8.32
Equation 2: 100x = 102 100x 8.32
100x = 100 x 8.32
100x = 832
Subtract equations
Therefore, we have 100x - x = 832 - 8.32
99x = 832
Divide each side by 99
| x = | 832 |
| 99 |
Final Answer
832/99
