Algorithms for Operations with Decimals:
Addition and Subtraction:
Line up the decimal points and proceed as with whole number addition and
subtraction-carries and borrows. You might have to include missing zeros.
Examples:

Multiplication:
Example:
This is the same as . So multiply the whole numbers 43 and 17,
and then move the decimal point to the left three places. , so the answer
is .731.
Let’s try .

Division:
Example:
This is the same as . So we’ll use the
standard algorithm, keeping track of the decimal point:

A reduced fraction whose denominator’s prime factorization has no primes other
than 2’s or 5’s has a terminating decimal representation.
Examples:

A reduced fraction whose denominator’s prime factorization contains prime factors
other than 2 or 5 has a non-terminating, repeating decimal representation.
Examples:
![Page 8: Lone Star College Systemnhmath.lonestar.edu/Faculty/HortonP/Math 2415/Math 1350... · Web viewAlgorithms for Operations with Decimals: Addition and Subtraction: Line up the decimal](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050500/5f93245a954e112b99768f1a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
So . The smallest length string of repeating digits is called the
repetend, and the number of digits in the repetend is called the period of the
repeating decimal. The horizontal overbar is called a vinculum.
So the decimal representation of has a repetend of 3 and therefore, a period of 1.
. What’s the repetend and period of the decimal representation
of ?

Let’s find the repetend and period of .

Given a non-terminating, repeating decimal, you can find a fraction that it’s
equivalent to.
Examples:
Let , then . If you subtract the first equation from the second
equation, you get . So .
Let , then . If you subtract the first equation from the second
equation, you get . So .
