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 117 by the denominator 44:
117 (numerator) ÷ 44 (denominator) = 2.66
As a result, you get 2.66 as your answer when you convert 117/44 to a decimal.
