Your input: convert $$$\frac{100}{21}$$$ into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccc}\phantom{4}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{4}\end{array}&\\21&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 1

How many $$$21$$$'s are in $$$1$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$1-21 \cdot 0 = 1 - 0= 1$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccc}\color{Chartreuse}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{4}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{21}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccc}\color{Chartreuse}{1}& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllllllllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 2

How many $$$21$$$'s are in $$$10$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$10-21 \cdot 0 = 10 - 0= 10$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccc}0&\color{Green}{0}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{4}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{21}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccc}1&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllllllllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Green}{1}&\color{Green}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&0&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 3

How many $$$21$$$'s are in $$$100$$$?

The answer is $$$4$$$.

Write down $$$4$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$100-21 \cdot 4 = 100 - 84= 16$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccc}0&0&\color{Purple}{4}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{4}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{21}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccc}1&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllllllllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Purple}{1}&\color{Purple}{0}&\color{Purple}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&8&4&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&1&6&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 4

How many $$$21$$$'s are in $$$160$$$?

The answer is $$$7$$$.

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

Now, $$$160-21 \cdot 7 = 160 - 147= 13$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
