2/10 as a Decimal

To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator:

2 ÷ 10 = 0.2

Since 10 only has prime factors of 2 and/or 5, the result is a terminating decimal — it ends after a finite number of digits.

Note: 2/10 = 1/5. The simplified form gives the same decimal value.
