Your input: convert $$$\frac{700}{18}$$$ into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccc}\phantom{3}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}\end{array}&\\18&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccc}7&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 1

How many $$$18$$$'s are in $$$7$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$7-18 \cdot 0 = 7 - 0= 7$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}\color{Chartreuse}{0}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{18}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}\color{Chartreuse}{7}& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}7&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 2

How many $$$18$$$'s are in $$$70$$$?

The answer is $$$3$$$.

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

Now, $$$70-18 \cdot 3 = 70 - 54= 16$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}0&\color{Green}{3}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{18}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}7&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Green}{7}&\color{Green}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}5&4&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&6&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 3

How many $$$18$$$'s are in $$$160$$$?

The answer is $$$8$$$.

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

Now, $$$160-18 \cdot 8 = 160 - 144= 16$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}0&3&\color{Purple}{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{18}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}7&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}7&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}5&4&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Purple}{1}&\color{Purple}{6}&\color{Purple}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&4&4&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&1&6&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 4

How many $$$18$$$'s are in $$$160$$$?

The answer is $$$8$$$.

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

Now, $$$160-18 \cdot 8 = 160 - 144= 16$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}0&3&8&.&\color{Violet}{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{18}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}7&0&0&.&0& 0 \downarrow&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}7&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}5&4&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&6&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&4&4&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&\color{Violet}{1}&\color{Violet}{6}&\phantom{.}&\color{Violet}{0}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&1&4&\phantom{.}&4\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&1&\phantom{.}&6&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 5

How many $$$18$$$'s are in $$$160$$$?

The answer is $$$8$$$.

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

Now, $$$160-18 \cdot 8 = 160 - 144= 16$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}0&3&8&.&8&\color{Brown}{8}&\phantom{8}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{18}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}7&0&0&.&0&0& 0 \downarrow\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}7&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}5&4&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&6&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&4&4&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&1&6&\phantom{.}&0\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&1&4&\phantom{.}&4\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&\color{Brown}{1}&\phantom{.}&\color{Brown}{6}&\color{Brown}{0}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&1&\phantom{.}&4&4\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&1&6&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 6

How many $$$18$$$'s are in $$$160$$$?

The answer is $$$8$$$.

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

Now, $$$160-18 \cdot 8 = 160 - 144= 16$$$.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}0&3&8&.&8&8&\color{Blue}{8}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{18}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}7&0&0&.&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}7&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}5&4&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&6&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&4&4&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&1&6&\phantom{.}&0\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&1&4&\phantom{.}&4\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&1&\phantom{.}&6&0\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&1&\phantom{.}&4&4\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&\color{Blue}{1}&\color{Blue}{6}&\color{Blue}{0}\\&&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&&1&4&4\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&1&6\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

As can be seen, the digits are repeating with some period, therefore it is a repeating (or recurring) decimal: $$$\frac{700}{18}=38.8 \overline{8}$$$

Answer: $$$\frac{700}{18}=38.8\overline{8}$$$
