The decimal representation of 4/15 can be found using long division as follows:
First, divide 4 by 15:
0.2666...
-------------
15 | 4.0000
15 goes into 4 zero times, so we place a decimal point and a zero after the decimal point.
Next, we bring down the next digit, which is 0.
0.2666...
-------------
15 | 4.0000
0
Now we divide 40 by 15:
0.2666...
-------------
15 | 4.0000
-30
----
100
15 goes into 40 twice, so we write 2 above the line.
0.2666...
-------------
15 | 4.0000
-30
----
100
90
Next, we subtract and bring down the next digit, which is 0.
0.2666...
-------------
15 | 4.0000
-30
----
100
-90
-----
100
15 goes into 100 six times, so we write 6 above the line.
0.2666...
-------------
15 | 4.0000
-30
----
100
-90
-----

- 90

We can see that the division repeats from here, with the remainder being 10 each time.
Therefore, the decimal representation of 4/15 is approximately 0.2666666667 (or rounded to however many decimal places you desire).
Use long division to convert 4/15 to a decimal.(1 point)
