Fraction to Decimal Calculator

Your input: convert $$$\frac{400}{21}$$$ into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

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

Step 1

How many $$$21$$$'s are in $$$4$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$4-21 \cdot 0 = 4 - 0= 4$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

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

Step 2

How many $$$21$$$'s are in $$$40$$$?

The answer is $$$1$$$.

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

Now, $$$40-21 \cdot 1 = 40 - 21= 19$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccc}0&\color{Violet}{1}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{9}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{21}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccc}4&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllllllllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Violet}{4}&\color{Violet}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}2&1&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&9&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 3

How many $$$21$$$'s are in $$$190$$$?

The answer is $$$9$$$.

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

Now, $$$190-21 \cdot 9 = 190 - 189= 1$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccc}0&1&\color{Peru}{9}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{9}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{21}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccc}4&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllllllllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}2&1&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Peru}{1}&\color{Peru}{9}&\color{Peru}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&8&9&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&1&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 4

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.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccc}0&1&9&.&\color{DeepPink}{0}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{9}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{21}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccc}4&0&0&.&0& 0 \downarrow&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllllllllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}2&1&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&9&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&8&9&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&\color{DeepPink}{1}&\phantom{.}&\color{DeepPink}{0}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&\phantom{.}&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&1&\phantom{.}&0&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 5

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.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccc}0&1&9&.&0&\color{SaddleBrown}{4}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{9}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{21}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccc}4&0&0&.&0&0& 0 \downarrow&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllllllllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}2&1&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&9&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&8&9&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&1&\phantom{.}&0\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&\phantom{.}&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&\color{SaddleBrown}{1}&\phantom{.}&\color{SaddleBrown}{0}&\color{SaddleBrown}{0}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&8&\phantom{.}&4\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&1&6&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 6

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.
