Fraction to Decimal Calculator

Your input: convert $$$\frac{1700}{20}$$$ into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccc}\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\20&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccc}1&7&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 1

How many $$$20$$$'s are in $$$1$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$1-20 \cdot 0 = 1 - 0= 1$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}\color{Chartreuse}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{20}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}\color{Chartreuse}{1}& 7 \downarrow&0&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&7&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 2

How many $$$20$$$'s are in $$$17$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$17-20 \cdot 0 = 17 - 0= 17$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&\color{Crimson}{0}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{20}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}1&7& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Crimson}{1}&\color{Crimson}{7}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&7&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 3

How many $$$20$$$'s are in $$$170$$$?

The answer is $$$8$$$.

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

Now, $$$170-20 \cdot 8 = 170 - 160= 10$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&0&\color{GoldenRod}{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{20}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}1&7&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&7&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{GoldenRod}{1}&\color{GoldenRod}{7}&\color{GoldenRod}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}1&6&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&1&0&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 4

How many $$$20$$$'s are in $$$100$$$?

The answer is $$$5$$$.

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

Now, $$$100-20 \cdot 5 = 100 - 100= 0$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&0&8&\color{Purple}{5}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{20}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}1&7&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&7&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&7&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}1&6&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&\color{Purple}{1}&\color{Purple}{0}&\color{Purple}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&1&0&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&0&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 5

How many $$$20$$$'s are in $$$0$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$0-20 \cdot 0 = 0 - 0= 0$$$.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&0&8&5&.&\color{DarkBlue}{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{20}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}1&7&0&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&7&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&7&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}1&6&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&1&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&1&0&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&\color{DarkBlue}{0}&\phantom{.}&\color{DarkBlue}{0}\\&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&&\phantom{.}&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

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

Therefore, $$$\frac{1700}{20}=85.0$$$

Answer: $$$\frac{1700}{20}=85.0$$$
