7/4 as a decimal

How to convert this fraction

Divide 7 by 4 using integer long division. The whole-number part is 1; the remaining fraction is 3/4.

1. Bring down a zero: remainder × 10 gives the next decimal digit 7; the new remainder is 2.
2. Bring down a zero: remainder × 10 gives the next decimal digit 5; the new remainder is 0.

The remainder reaches zero after 2 decimal places, so 7/4 = 1.75 exactly.

As a mixed-number decomposition: 7/4 = 1 + 3/4.

Check: 1 × 4 + 3 = 7, so the quotient and remainder reconstruct the original fraction.
