the quotient of 4÷7 is a decimal number. how many digits in the quotient are overlined?
6 digits are overlined because the repeating numbers after the decimal is 571428.
Answer:
6 numbers
Step-by-step explanation:
Since, the numbers after decimals are over lined if they repeat at regular intervals,
Given expression,
\(\frac{4}{7}\)
When we divide 4 by 7,
We get,
\(\frac{4}{7}=0.571428571428571428571428.....\)
Thus, the number 571428 is repeated at regular interval,
\(\implies \frac{4}{7}=0.\overline{571428}\)
Hence, 6 numbers ( 5, 7, 1, 4, 2 and 8 ) are over lined in the quotient.
