Input values:
The fraction = 4/21
What to be found:
Find the decimal expansion of fraction 4/21.
step 2 The numerator is smaller than the denominator of the fraction 4/21, so find how many 10s should be multiplied with both numerator and denominator. Since the denominator is having 1 more digits than the numerator, multiply 100 with both numerator and denominator of 4/21.

= 400/21 x 1/100
step 4 Simplify the above expression further:
= 400/21 x 1/100
= 399 + 1/21 x 1/100
= ( 399/21 + 1/21) x 1/100
= (19 + 1/21 ) x 1/100
step 5 Repeat the step 2 to find the decimal equivalent for the fraction 1/21 in the above expression:
= (19 + 1/21 ) x 1/100
= (19 + 0.048) x 1/100
step 6 Simplify the above expression further:
