Use long division to convert 1320

to a decimal

1 answer

To convert the fraction \( \frac{1320}{1} \) to decimal using long division, we will divide the numerator 1320 by 1.

Since 1320 divided by 1 is simply 1320, the long division process is straightforward. Here’s how the long division would look:

   1320
  -----
1 | 1320
   - 1320
   ------
      0

As we can see:

  1. 1 goes into 1 once: \( 1 \times 1 = 1 \).
  2. Subtract 1 from 1 to get 0.
  3. Bring down the next digit from 1320, which is a 3, making it 0 and then bringing down the next digit.
  4. Continue bringing down until all digits are used, but since \( 1320 ÷ 1 = 1320 \), there are no more digits to bring down.

So, \( \frac{1320}{1} = 1320.0 \).

The answer is:

\[ 1320 = 1320.0 \]

Thus, 1320 as a decimal is 1320.0.
