Fraction to Decimal Calculator

Your input: convert $$$\frac{1700}{21}$$$ into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccc}\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{8}\end{array}&\\21&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccc}1&7&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 1

How many $$$21$$$'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.

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

Step 2

How many $$$21$$$'s are in $$$17$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$17-21 \cdot 0 = 17 - 0= 17$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

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

Step 3

How many $$$21$$$'s are in $$$170$$$?

The answer is $$$8$$$.

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

Now, $$$170-21 \cdot 8 = 170 - 168= 2$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccc}0&0&\color{OrangeRed}{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{8}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{21}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccc}1&7&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllllllllllll}-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&7&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{OrangeRed}{1}&\color{OrangeRed}{7}&\color{OrangeRed}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&6&8&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&2&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 4

How many $$$21$$$'s are in $$$20$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$20-21 \cdot 0 = 20 - 0= 20$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

Step 5

How many $$$21$$$'s are in $$$200$$$?

The answer is $$$9$$$.

Write down $$$9$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$200-21 \cdot 9 = 200 - 189= 11$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccc}0&0&8&0&.&\color{Purple}{9}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{8}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{21}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccc}1&7&0&0&.&0& 0 \downarrow&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllllllllllll}-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&7&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&7&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&6&8&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&2&0&\phantom{.}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&\color{Purple}{2}&\color{Purple}{0}&\phantom{.}&\color{Purple}{0}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&1&8&\phantom{.}&9\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&1&\phantom{.}&1&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 6

How many $$$21$$$'s are in $$$110$$$?
