So can we turn 5\/8 into something over 1000? We need a number that 8 multiplies into to make 1000. Since 8 \u00d7 125 = 1000, we multiply the top and bottom by 125:<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5\/8 = (5 \u00d7 125) \/ (8 \u00d7 125) = <\/span><b>625\/1000<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Three zeros in the denominator means three decimal places, so that\u2019s 0.625. Add the 8 and you\u2019re back at <\/span><b>8.625<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s a neat reason this works so cleanly. A fraction becomes a tidy, ending decimal whenever its denominator is made up of only 2s and 5s as prime factors. Since 8 is 2 \u00d7 2 \u00d7 2, it qualifies. A fraction like 1\/3 doesn\u2019t, which is why it turns into 0.333\u2026 forever.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6e8393f\" data-id=\"6e8393f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-baad778 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"baad778\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-72f4de8\" data-id=\"72f4de8\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9084dae\" data-id=\"9084dae\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f5fac35 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f5fac35\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Quick ways to check your answer\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-de57edd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"de57edd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nobody likes finding out an answer was wrong <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">after<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> they\u2019ve used it.
