Convert Rational Numbers to Decimals Worksheets

Convert a rational number to its decimal form and classify the result as terminating or repeating. Repeating blocks are detected from exact long-division remainders rather than a floating-point approximation.

Exact-construction rule: operations use normalized integer numerator/denominator pairs, number-line positions use exact ticks, repeating decimals come from remainder cycles, and money contexts use exact cents. No answer depends on binary floating-point rounding.
Teaching note 1

A remainder of zero means the decimal terminates.

Teaching note 2

When a previous remainder repeats, the decimal digits from that point repeat in a cycle.

Teaching note 3

In this generator, parentheses mark the repeating block: 0.1(6) means 0.1666… .

Frequently asked questions

How are repeating decimals written?

Parentheses mark the repeating block, such as 0.(3) for 0.333… or 0.1(6) for 0.1666… .

Does the tool guess from denominator patterns?

No. It performs exact remainder tracking, the same structure used in long division.
