Fraction to Decimal Calculator

Your input: convert $$$\frac{800}{15}$$$ into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccc}\phantom{5}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}\end{array}&\\15&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccc}8&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 1

How many $$$15$$$'s are in $$$8$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$8-15 \cdot 0 = 8 - 0= 8$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}\color{Peru}{0}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{15}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}\color{Peru}{8}& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}8&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 2

How many $$$15$$$'s are in $$$80$$$?

The answer is $$$5$$$.

Write down $$$5$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$80-15 \cdot 5 = 80 - 75= 5$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}0&\color{DeepPink}{5}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{15}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}8&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{DeepPink}{8}&\color{DeepPink}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}7&5&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&5&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 3

How many $$$15$$$'s are in $$$50$$$?

The answer is $$$3$$$.

Write down $$$3$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$50-15 \cdot 3 = 50 - 45= 5$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}0&5&\color{Chartreuse}{3}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{15}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}8&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}8&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}7&5&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&\color{Chartreuse}{5}&\color{Chartreuse}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&4&5&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&5&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 4

How many $$$15$$$'s are in $$$50$$$?

The answer is $$$3$$$.

Write down $$$3$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$50-15 \cdot 3 = 50 - 45= 5$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}0&5&3&.&\color{GoldenRod}{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{15}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}8&0&0&.&0& 0 \downarrow&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}8&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}7&5&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&5&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&4&5&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&\color{GoldenRod}{5}&\phantom{.}&\color{GoldenRod}{0}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&4&\phantom{.}&5\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&5&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 5

How many $$$15$$$'s are in $$$50$$$?

The answer is $$$3$$$.

Write down $$$3$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$50-15 \cdot 3 = 50 - 45= 5$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}0&5&3&.&3&\color{Red}{3}&\phantom{3}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{15}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}8&0&0&.&0&0& 0 \downarrow\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}8&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}7&5&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&5&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&4&5&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&5&\phantom{.}&0\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&4&\phantom{.}&5\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&\color{Red}{5}&\color{Red}{0}\\&&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&&4&5\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&5&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 6

How many $$$15$$$'s are in $$$50$$$?

The answer is $$$3$$$.

Write down $$$3$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$50-15 \cdot 3 = 50 - 45= 5$$$.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}0&5&3&.&3&3&\color{OrangeRed}{3}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{15}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}8&0&0&.&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}8&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}7&5&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&5&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&4&5&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&5&\phantom{.}&0\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&4&\phantom{.}&5\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&5&0\\&&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&&4&5\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&\color{OrangeRed}{5}&\color{OrangeRed}{0}\\&&&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&&&4&5\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&&5\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

As can be seen, the digits are repeating with some period, therefore it is a repeating (or recurring) decimal: $$$\frac{800}{15}=53.3 \overline{3}$$$

Answer: $$$\frac{800}{15}=53.3\overline{3}$$$
