Fraction to Decimal Calculator

Your input: convert $$$\frac{2400}{27}$$$ into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccc}\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}\end{array}&\\27&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccc}2&4&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 1

How many $$$27$$$'s are in $$$2$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$2-27 \cdot 0 = 2 - 0= 2$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccccc}\color{Chartreuse}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{27}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccccc}\color{Chartreuse}{2}& 4 \downarrow&0&0&.&0&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllllll}-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&4&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 2

How many $$$27$$$'s are in $$$24$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$24-27 \cdot 0 = 24 - 0= 24$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccccc}0&\color{Green}{0}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{27}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccccc}2&4& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllllll}-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Green}{2}&\color{Green}{4}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&4&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 3

How many $$$27$$$'s are in $$$240$$$?

The answer is $$$8$$$.

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

Now, $$$240-27 \cdot 8 = 240 - 216= 24$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccccc}0&0&\color{Purple}{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{27}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccccc}2&4&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllllll}-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&4&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Purple}{2}&\color{Purple}{4}&\color{Purple}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}2&1&6&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&2&4&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 4

How many $$$27$$$'s are in $$$240$$$?

The answer is $$$8$$$.

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

Now, $$$240-27 \cdot 8 = 240 - 216= 24$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccccc}0&0&8&\color{Violet}{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{27}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccccc}2&4&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllllll}-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&4&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&4&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}2&1&6&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&\color{Violet}{2}&\color{Violet}{4}&\color{Violet}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&2&1&6&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&2&4&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

As can be seen, the digits are repeating with some period, therefore it is a repeating (or recurring) decimal: $$$\frac{2400}{27}=88. \overline{888}$$$

Answer: $$$\frac{2400}{27}=88.\overline{888}$$$
