# What Is 7/47 as a Decimal + Solution With Free Steps

The fraction 7/47 as a decimal is equal to 0.148.

The division of two numbers p and q is one of the four primary operations in arithmetic. The others include addition, subtraction, and multiplication. It is the inverse of multiplication, so it answers the question “how much are p parts of q” as opposed to “how many are p groups of q?”

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 7/47.

## 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 = 47

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 $\div$ 47

This is when we go through the Long Division solution to our problem.

## 7/47 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 47, we can see how 7 is Smaller than 47, and to solve this division, we require that 7 be Bigger than 47.

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 47; this can be done as follows:

70 $\div$ 47 $\approx$ 1

Where:

47 x 1 = 47

This will lead to the generation of a Remainder equal to 70 – 47 = 23. Now this means we have to repeat the process by Converting the 23 into 230 and solving for that:

230 $\div$ 47 $\approx$ 4

Where:

47 x 4 = 188

This, therefore, produces another Remainder which is equal to 230 – 188 = 42. Now we must solve this problem to Third Decimal Place for accuracy, so we repeat the process with dividend 420.

420 $\div$ 47 $\approx$ 8

Where:

47 x 8 = 376

Finally, we have a Quotient generated after combining the three pieces of it as 0.148, with a Remainder equal to 44.
