Understanding Repeating Decimal Multiplication
A repeating decimal, also known as a recurring decimal, is a decimal representation of a number whose digits are periodic and infinitely repeated. For example, 1/3 = 0.333... or 0.̅3.
To multiply a repeating decimal by a normal decimal, we first convert the repeating decimal into a fraction. Then, we multiply this fraction by the normal decimal (which can also be represented as a fraction if needed).
Example: Let's multiply 0.6̅ by 2.
- Convert 0.6̅ to a fraction: 0.6̅ = 6/9 = 2/3
- Multiply the fraction by 2: (2/3) * 2 = 4/3
- Convert the result back to a decimal (if needed): 4/3 = 1.333... or 1.̅3
This tool simplifies this process, allowing you to easily input a repeating decimal and a normal decimal and get the product instantly. Use the format a.b(c) for repeating decimals, where c is the repeating part.
