Division Decimal 420Dc7
1. The problem is to perform the division of 4 by 6 and express the result as a decimal.
2. The formula for division is \( \text{Dividend} \div \text{Divisor} = \text{Quotient} \).
3. Here, the dividend is 4 and the divisor is 6.
4. Since 4 is less than 6, the quotient will be less than 1, so we add a decimal point and zeros to the dividend to continue the division.
5. Perform the division step-by-step:
- Multiply 6 by 0 to get 0, subtract from 4 to get 4.
- Bring down a 0 to make 40.
- 6 goes into 40 six times (6 \times 6 = 36), subtract 36 from 40 to get 4.
- Bring down another 0 to make 40 again.
- Repeat the process, so the decimal repeats 6.
6. Therefore, the quotient is \(0.666...\), which can be rounded to \(0.66\) as shown.
7. The intermediate subtraction steps are 40 - 36 = 4, repeated.
8. This is a repeating decimal with digit 6 repeating infinitely.
Final answer: \(\boxed{0.66}\) (rounded to two decimal places).
