Divide the numerator by the denominator
If the numerator divides evenly, write the exact quotient as the decimal
If it does not divide evenly, add a decimal point and append zeros to the numerator
Keep dividing and write each quotient digit after the decimal point
Stop when the remainder becomes 0 (terminating decimal) or when you repeat a remainder pattern (repeating decimal)
If repeating, write the repeating digits with a bar (e.g., (0.overline{3}))
