Fraction to Decimal Calculator

Your input: convert $$$\frac{1500}{21}$$$ into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccc}\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}\end{array}&\\21&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccc}1&5&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

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.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccccccccccc}\color{Green}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{21}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccccccccccc}\color{Green}{1}& 5 \downarrow&0&0&.&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllllllllllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&5&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 2

How many $$$21$$$'s are in $$$15$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$15-21 \cdot 0 = 15 - 0= 15$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccccccccccc}0&\color{BlueViolet}{0}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{21}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccccccccccc}1&5& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllllllllllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{BlueViolet}{1}&\color{BlueViolet}{5}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&5&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 3

How many $$$21$$$'s are in $$$150$$$?

The answer is $$$7$$$.

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

Now, $$$150-21 \cdot 7 = 150 - 147= 3$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccccccccccc}0&0&\color{DarkBlue}{7}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{21}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccccccccccc}1&5&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllllllllllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&5&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{DarkBlue}{1}&\color{DarkBlue}{5}&\color{DarkBlue}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&4&7&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&3&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 4

How many $$$21$$$'s are in $$$30$$$?

The answer is $$$1$$$.

Write down $$$1$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$30-21 \cdot 1 = 30 - 21= 9$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccccccccccc}0&0&7&\color{SaddleBrown}{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{21}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccccccccccc}1&5&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllllllllllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&5&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&5&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&4&7&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&\color{SaddleBrown}{3}&\color{SaddleBrown}{0}&\phantom{.}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&2&1&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&9&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 5

How many $$$21$$$'s are in $$$90$$$?

The answer is $$$4$$$.

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

Now, $$$90-21 \cdot 4 = 90 - 84= 6$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

Now, $$$30-21 \cdot 1 = 30 - 21= 9$$$.

As can be seen, the digits are repeating with some period, therefore it is a repeating (or recurring) decimal: $$$\frac{1500}{21}=71. \overline{428571}$$$

Answer: $$$\frac{1500}{21}=71.\overline{428571}$$$
