Question

The quotient of 4÷7 is a decimal number. how many digits in the quotient are overlined?

Answer 1

6 digits are overlined because the repeating numbers after the decimal is 571428.

Answer 2

6 numbers

Explanation:

Since, the numbers after decimals are over lined if they repeat at regular intervals,

Given expression,

`(4)/(7)`

When we divide 4 by 7,

We get,

`(4)/(7)=0.571428571428571428571428.....`

Thus, the number 571428 is repeated at regular interval,

`\implies (4)/(7)=0.\overline{571428}`

Hence, 6 numbers ( 5, 7, 1, 4, 2 and 8 ) are over lined in the quotient.
