What Is 8/100 as a Decimal + Solution With Free Steps

The fraction 8/100 as a decimal is equal to 0.08.

In mathematics, a part of the whole object is described by a Fraction, which gives a solution in the form of decimal numbers upon the
division of its elements. Division looks like a complicated operation but can
be made easy using some specific techniques.

Here, we are interested more in the types of division that results 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.

8 100 as a decimal

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 8/100.

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 seen done as follows:

Dividend = 8

Divisor = 100

Now, we introduce the most important quantity in our process of division, this is 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 = 8 $\div$ 100

This is when we go through the Long Division solution to our problem, which is illustrated in figure.

8/100 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 8, and 100 we can see how 8 is Smaller than 100, and to solve this division we require that 8 be Bigger than 100.

This is done by multiplying the dividend by 10 and checking whether it is bigger than the divisor or not. If it is then we calculate the Multiple of the divisor which is 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 8, which after getting multiplied by 10 becomes 80.

We take this 80 and divide it by 100, this can be seen done as follows:

 80 $\div$ 100 $\approx$ 0

Where:

80 x 0 = 0

This will lead to the generation of a Remainder equal to 80 – 0 = 80, now this means we have to repeat the process by Converting the 80 into 800 by multiplying it with 10 and solving for that:

800 $\div$ 100 $=$ 8 

Where:

100 x 8 = 800

This, therefore, produces another remainder which is equal to 800 – 800 = 0.

Finally, we have a Quotient generated after combining the three pieces of it as 0.08 = z, with a Remainder equal to 0.
