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 132 by the denominator 23:
132 (numerator) ÷ 23 (denominator) = 5.74
As a result, you get 5.74 as your answer when you convert 5 17/23 (or 132/23) to a decimal.
