Question

Use long division to convert 1320
to a decimal

Answer 1

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**.
