13/20 as a Decimal
13/20 = 0.65
13/20 as a decimal is 0.65.
Step by step
- Divide 13 by 20: 0 whole (so the answer starts 0.), remainder 13.
- Bring down a 0: 130 ÷ 20 = 6, remainder 10.
- Bring down a 0: 100 ÷ 20 = 5, remainder 0.
- Result: 13/20 = 0.65.
Shortcut: 20 divides evenly into 100, so multiply the top and bottom by 5: 13/20 = 65/100 = 0.65. This works for any fraction whose denominator has only 2s and 5s as prime factors, which is why 13/20 gives a terminating decimal.

How it works
A fraction means division: the numerator (top) divided by the denominator (bottom). Use long division, adding zeros after the decimal point until the remainder is zero or a remainder repeats. If the simplified denominator has only 2 and 5 as prime factors, the decimal terminates; otherwise it repeats forever, and the repeating digits are marked with a bar.
