4/3 as a Decimal
4/3 = 1.3̅
4/3 as a decimal is 1.3̅ — the digit 3 repeat forever (≈ 1.333333).
Step by step
- Divide 4 by 3: 1 whole, remainder 1.
- Bring down a 0: 10 ÷ 3 = 3, remainder 1.
- Bring down a 0: 10 ÷ 3 = 3, remainder 1.
- Bring down a 0: 10 ÷ 3 = 3, remainder 1.
- Bring down a 0: 10 ÷ 3 = 3, remainder 1.
- Bring down a 0: 10 ÷ 3 = 3, remainder 1.
- Bring down a 0: 10 ÷ 3 = 3, remainder 1.
- Result: 4/3 = 1.3̅ (repeating).
Why it repeats: after removing factors of 2 and 5, the denominator 3 still has the factor 3, so the division never ends and the remainders cycle. The repeating block “3” has 1 digit; round it to the precision you need, for example 1.33 or 1.3333.

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.
