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 23 by the denominator 86:
23 (numerator) ÷ 86 (denominator) = 0.27
As a result, you get 0.27 as your answer when you convert 23/86 to a decimal.
