Fraction to Decimal Calculator

Your input: convert $$$\frac{200}{12}$$$ into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccc}\phantom{1}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}\end{array}&\\12&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccc}2&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 1

How many $$$12$$$'s are in $$$2$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$2-12 \cdot 0 = 2 - 0= 2$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}\color{Fuchsia}{0}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{12}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}\color{Fuchsia}{2}& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 2

How many $$$12$$$'s are in $$$20$$$?

The answer is $$$1$$$.

Write down $$$1$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$20-12 \cdot 1 = 20 - 12= 8$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&\color{Chocolate}{1}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{12}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}2&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Chocolate}{2}&\color{Chocolate}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&2&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&8&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 3

How many $$$12$$$'s are in $$$80$$$?

The answer is $$$6$$$.

Write down $$$6$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$80-12 \cdot 6 = 80 - 72= 8$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&1&\color{Purple}{6}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{12}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}2&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&2&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&\color{Purple}{8}&\color{Purple}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&7&2&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&8&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 4

How many $$$12$$$'s are in $$$80$$$?

The answer is $$$6$$$.

Write down $$$6$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$80-12 \cdot 6 = 80 - 72= 8$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&1&6&.&\color{OrangeRed}{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{12}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}2&0&0&.&0& 0 \downarrow&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&2&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&8&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&7&2&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&\color{OrangeRed}{8}&\phantom{.}&\color{OrangeRed}{0}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&7&\phantom{.}&2\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&8&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 5

How many $$$12$$$'s are in $$$80$$$?

Step 7

How many $$$12$$$'s are in $$$80$$$?

The answer is $$$6$$$.

Write down $$$6$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$80-12 \cdot 6 = 80 - 72= 8$$$.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&1&6&.&6&6&6&\color{GoldenRod}{6}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{12}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}2&0&0&.&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&2&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&8&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&7&2&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&8&\phantom{.}&0\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&7&\phantom{.}&2\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&8&0\\&&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&&7&2\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&8&0\\&&&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&&&7&2\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&&\color{GoldenRod}{8}&\color{GoldenRod}{0}\\&&&&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&&&&7&2\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&&&8\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

As can be seen, the digits are repeating with some period, therefore it is a repeating (or recurring) decimal: $$$\frac{200}{12}=16.66 \overline{6}$$$

Answer: $$$\frac{200}{12}=16.66\overline{6}$$$
