13 31 as a decimal

Here, we are more interested in the division types that result in a Decimal value, as this can be expressed as a Fraction. We see fractions as a way of showing two numbers having the operation of Division between them that result in a value that lies between two Integers.

Now, we introduce the method used to solve said fraction to decimal conversion, called Long Division, which we will discuss in detail moving forward. So, let’s go through the Solution of fraction 13/31.

Solution

First, we convert the fraction components, i.e., the numerator and the denominator, and transform them into the division constituents, i.e., the Dividend and the Divisor, respectively.

This can be done as follows:

Dividend = 13

Divisor = 31

Now, we introduce the most important quantity in our division process: the Quotient. The value represents the Solution to our division and can be expressed as having the following relationship with the Division constituents:

Quotient = Dividend $\div$ Divisor = 13 $\div$ 31

This is when we go through the Long Division solution to our problem. Figure 1 shows the Long Division process:

We start solving a problem using the Long Division Method by first taking apart the division’s components and comparing them. As we have 13 and 31, we can see how 13 is Smaller than 31, and to solve this division, we require that 13 be Bigger than 31.

This is done by multiplying the dividend by 10 and checking whether it is bigger than the divisor or not. If so, we calculate the Multiple of the divisor closest to the dividend and subtract it from the Dividend. This produces the Remainder, which we then use as the dividend later.

Now, we begin solving for our dividend 13, which after getting multiplied by 10 becomes 130.

We take this 130 and divide it by 31; this can be done as follows:

 130 $\div$ 31 $\approx$ 4

Where:

31 x 4 = 124

This will lead to the generation of a Remainder equal to 130 – 124 =6 . Now this means we have to repeat the process by Converting the 6 into 60 and solving for that:

60 $\div$ 31 $\approx$ 1 

Where:

31 x 1 = 31

This, therefore, produces another Remainder which is equal to 60 – 31 = 29. Now we must solve this problem to Third Decimal Place for accuracy, so we repeat the process with dividend 290.

290 $\div$ 31 $\approx$ 9 

Where:

31 x 9 = 279

Finally, we have a Quotient generated after combining the three pieces of it as 0.419=z, with a Remainder equal to 11.Quotient and Remainder of 13 per 31
