48.03 / 7 =
What? I don't get this
You must put it to repeat
What does "put it to repeat" mean?

Its dividing and giving the answer as the repeating decimal form.
Its just confusing
I put your problem into wolframalpha.com and got a better result:

Do you see the repetition?
O gosh I should've known!
Thanks
You're welcome.

Dividing any number by 7 gives the repeating decimal of
142857 which rotates about itself
very unusual .....
e.g.
1/7 = .14285714285714..
2/7 = .285714285714..
3/7 = .428571 ...
4/7 = .571482 ..
...
6/7 = ..857142..
4803/7 = 686.142857.. just look at the decimal
and
48.03/7 = 6.86142857...
don't we just have to move the decimal place two spots ???
To divide 48.03 by 7, you can use long division. Here's how you can do it:
1. Write down 48.03 as the dividend (the number being divided) and 7 as the divisor (the number you're dividing by).
___________________
7 | 48.03
2. Start by dividing the leftmost digit of the dividend (4) by the divisor (7). The result is 0.
___________________
7 | 48.03
0
3. Bring down the next digit (the decimal point) and put it after the 0 in the quotient.
___________________
7 | 48.03
0.
4. Now, divide 3 (the next digit in the dividend) by 7. Since 7 is greater than 3, we will put a 0 as the next digit of the quotient.
___________________
7 | 48.03
0.0
5. Multiply the divisor (7) by the last digit of the quotient (0), and subtract the result from the previous portion of the dividend.
___________________
7 | 48.03
0.0
- 0
The result is 48.03 - 0 = 48.03.
6. Bring down the next digit (the next decimal point) and put it after the difference.
___________________
7 | 48.03
0.0
- 0
____________
03
7. Divide 3 (the next digit in the dividend) by 7. Since 7 is greater than 3, we put another 0 as the next digit of the quotient.
___________________
7 | 48.03
0.0
- 0
____________
03
- 00
The result is 03 - 00 = 03.
8. There are no more digits left in the dividend. We have reached the end, so the division is complete.
The quotient is 48.03 / 7 = 6.86 (rounded to two decimal places).
Please note that you can also use a calculator to get the result.
