A fraction is usually split into two parts: the first part is the number on top, called the numerator; and the second part is the number on the bottom, called the denominator. These are both separated by a line called the “divisor line”. We can use the division method help to solve this question: to get a decimal, simply divide the numerator 60048 by the denominator 256 (which you can enter in any calculator):
60048 (numerator) ÷ 256 (denominator) = 234.56
And finally, you get 234.56 as your answer when you convert 234 144/256 (or 60048/256) to a decimal.
