Fraction to Decimal Calculator

Your input: convert $$$\frac{4700}{100}$$$ into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccc}\phantom{4}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\100&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccc}4&7&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 1

How many $$$100$$$'s are in $$$4$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

Write down $$$0$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$4-100 \cdot 0 = 4 - 0= 4$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}\color{Fuchsia}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{100}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}\color{Fuchsia}{4}& 7 \downarrow&0&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&7&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 2

How many $$$100$$$'s are in $$$47$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

Write down $$$0$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$47-100 \cdot 0 = 47 - 0= 47$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&\color{Violet}{0}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{100}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}4&7& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Violet}{4}&\color{Violet}{7}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&7&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 3

How many $$$100$$$'s are in $$$470$$$?

The answer is $$$4$$$.

Write down $$$4$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$470-100 \cdot 4 = 470 - 400= 70$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&0&\color{Peru}{4}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{100}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}4&7&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&7&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Peru}{4}&\color{Peru}{7}&\color{Peru}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}4&0&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&7&0&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 4

How many $$$100$$$'s are in $$$700$$$?

The answer is $$$7$$$.

Write down $$$7$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$700-100 \cdot 7 = 700 - 700= 0$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&0&4&\color{DeepPink}{7}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{100}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}4&7&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&7&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&7&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}4&0&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&\color{DeepPink}{7}&\color{DeepPink}{0}&\color{DeepPink}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&7&0&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&0&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 5

How many $$$100$$$'s are in $$$0$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

Write down $$$0$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$0-100 \cdot 0 = 0 - 0= 0$$$.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&0&4&7&.&\color{SaddleBrown}{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{100}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}4&7&0&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&7&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&7&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}4&0&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&7&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&7&0&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&\color{SaddleBrown}{0}&\phantom{.}&\color{SaddleBrown}{0}\\&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&&\phantom{.}&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Since the remainder is $$$0$$$, then we are done.

Therefore, $$$\frac{4700}{100}=47.0$$$

Answer: $$$\frac{4700}{100}=47.0$$$
