What Is 48/52 as a Decimal + Solution With Free Steps

The fraction 48/52 as a decimal is equal to 0.923.

The division process is one of the most fundamental operations in mathematics. Long Division is one of several techniques for performing the division. The division is usually denoted in fraction form a/b or decimal form.

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 48/52.

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 = 48

Divisor = 52

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 = 48 $\div$ 52

This is when we go through the Long Division solution to our problem. We can look at the following Figure 1, which represents 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 48 and 52, we can see how 48 is Smaller than 52, and to solve this division, we require that 48 be Bigger than 52.

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 48, which after getting multiplied by 10 becomes 480.

We take this 480 and divide it by 52; this can be done as follows:

 480 $\div$ 52 $\approx$ 9

Where:

52 x 9 = 468

This will lead to the generation of a Remainder equal to 480 – 468 = 12. Now this means we have to repeat the process by Converting the 12 into 120 and solving for that:

120 $\div$ 52 $\approx$ 2 

Where:

52 x 2 = 104

This, therefore, produces another Remainder which is equal to 120 – 104 = 16. Now we must solve this problem to Third Decimal Place for accuracy, so we repeat the process with dividend 160.

160 $\div$ 52 $\approx$ 3 

Where:

52 x 3 = 156

Finally, we have a Quotient generated after combining the three pieces of it as 0.923=z, with a Remainder equal to 4.Pie Chart 48 by 52 Long Division Method
