Where the decimal comes from
There is no rewrite over 10, 100 or 1000 for 12/13: 13 has a prime factor other than 2 and 5, so no whole-number multiplier reaches a power of ten. Watch the long division to see what happens instead — the remainders start circling, and once a remainder comes back, the digits must too:
- 120 ÷ 13 = 9remainder 3
- 30 ÷ 13 = 2remainder 4
- 40 ÷ 13 = 3remainder 1
- 10 ÷ 13 = 0remainder 10
- 100 ÷ 13 = 7remainder 9
- 90 ÷ 13 = 6remainder 12— this remainder has come around before, so from here the digits repeat
Written exactly: 0.(923076) — the parentheses mark the block that repeats forever.
