A fraction is written in terms of two parts: the number on top is called the numerator and the number on the bottom is called the denominator. We can use the division method to solve this question. To get a decimal, simply divide the numerator 116 by the denominator 43:
116 (numerator) ÷ 43 (denominator) = 2.7
As a result, you get 2.7 as your answer when you convert 1 73/43 (or 116/43) to a decimal.
