Fraction to Decimal Calculator

Your input: convert $$$\frac{1400}{16}$$$ into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccc}\phantom{8}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\16&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccc}1&4&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 1

How many $$$16$$$'s are in $$$1$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$1-16 \cdot 0 = 1 - 0= 1$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}\color{Brown}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{16}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}\color{Brown}{1}& 4 \downarrow&0&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&4&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 2

How many $$$16$$$'s are in $$$14$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$14-16 \cdot 0 = 14 - 0= 14$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&\color{DarkMagenta}{0}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{16}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}1&4& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{DarkMagenta}{1}&\color{DarkMagenta}{4}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&4&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 3

How many $$$16$$$'s are in $$$140$$$?

The answer is $$$8$$$.

Write down $$$8$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$140-16 \cdot 8 = 140 - 128= 12$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&0&\color{DarkBlue}{8}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{16}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}1&4&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&4&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{DarkBlue}{1}&\color{DarkBlue}{4}&\color{DarkBlue}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}1&2&8&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&1&2&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 4

How many $$$16$$$'s are in $$$120$$$?

The answer is $$$7$$$.

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

Now, $$$120-16 \cdot 7 = 120 - 112= 8$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&0&8&\color{Purple}{7}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{16}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}1&4&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&4&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&4&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}1&2&8&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&\color{Purple}{1}&\color{Purple}{2}&\color{Purple}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&1&1&2&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&8&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 5

How many $$$16$$$'s are in $$$80$$$?

The answer is $$$5$$$.

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

Now, $$$80-16 \cdot 5 = 80 - 80= 0$$$.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&0&8&7&.&\color{DarkCyan}{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{16}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}1&4&0&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&4&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&4&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}1&2&8&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&1&2&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&1&1&2&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&\color{DarkCyan}{8}&\phantom{.}&\color{DarkCyan}{0}\\&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&8&\phantom{.}&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

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

Therefore, $$$\frac{1400}{16}=87.5$$$

Answer: $$$\frac{1400}{16}=87.5$$$
