What Is 7/70 as a Decimal + Solution With Free Steps
The fraction 7/70 as a decimal is equal to 0.1.
The division of two numbers, depending on the dividend and the divisor, produces either an integer or decimal (either terminating or non-terminating) result. A fraction is another way of showing a division, so p $\boldsymbol\div$ q and p/q are mathematically equivalent.
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 7/70.
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 = 7
Divisor = 70
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 = 7 $\div$ 70
This is when we go through the Long Division solution to our problem.

7/70 Long Division Method
We start solving a problem using the Long Division Method by first taking apart the division’s components and comparing them. As we have 7 and 70, we can see how 7 is Smaller than 70, and to solve this division, we require that 7 be Bigger than 70.
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 7, which after getting multiplied by 10 becomes 70.
We take this 70 and divide it by 70; this can be done as follows:
 70 $\div$ 70 = 1
Where:
70 x 1 = 70
This will lead to a zero remainder as 70 – 70 = 0. Thus, our Quotient is 0.1, with a Remainder equal to 0.
