Step-by-step solution

The problem

\frac{7}{25}

  1. Divide 7 by 25 (long division). Write down how many times 25 goes in, carry the remainder, add a 0 and divide again. The remainder is 0, so the decimal ends here.

    StepDivideDigitRemainderWorking
    Whole part7 ÷ 250725 × 0 = 0, 7 − 0 = 7
    Decimal place 170 ÷ 2522025 × 2 = 50, 70 − 50 = 20
    Decimal place 2200 ÷ 258025 × 8 = 200, 200 − 200 = 0

  2. Read off the decimal. The digits are read from the Digit column.

    = 7 \div 25 = \textcolor{#0b5c56}{0.28}

  3. Check with a shortcut. The denominator 25 can be made 100 by multiplying by 4, so the decimal ends after 2 places.

    \frac{7}{25} = \frac{7 \times 4}{25 \times 4} = \frac{28}{100} = 0.28
