Fraction to Decimal Calculator
Convert fractions to decimals step by step
The calculator will convert the given fraction (proper or improper) or mixed number into a decimal (possibly, repeating or recurring), with steps shown.
Solution
Your input: convert $$$\frac{2200}{30}$$$ into a decimal.
Write the problem in the special format:
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccc}\phantom{7}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}\end{array}&\\30&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccc}2&2&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 1
How many $$$30$$$'s are in $$$2$$$?
The answer is $$$0$$$.
Write down $$$0$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$2-30 \cdot 0 = 2 - 0= 2$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}\color{Fuchsia}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{30}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}\color{Fuchsia}{2}& 2 \downarrow&0&0&.&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&2&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 2
How many $$$30$$$'s are in $$$22$$$?
The answer is $$$0$$$.
Write down $$$0$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$22-30 \cdot 0 = 22 - 0= 22$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}0&\color{Peru}{0}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{30}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}2&2& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Peru}{2}&\color{Peru}{2}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&2&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 3
How many $$$30$$$'s are in $$$220$$$?
The answer is $$$7$$$.
Write down $$$7$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$220-30 \cdot 7 = 220 - 210= 10$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}0&0&\color{DeepPink}{7}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{30}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}2&2&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&2&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{DeepPink}{2}&\color{DeepPink}{2}&\color{DeepPink}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}2&1&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&1&0&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 4
How many $$$30$$$'s are in $$$100$$$?
The answer is $$$3$$$.
Write down $$$3$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$100-30 \cdot 3 = 100 - 90= 10$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}0&0&7&\color{Chocolate}{3}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{30}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}2&2&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&2&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&2&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}2&1&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&\color{Chocolate}{1}&\color{Chocolate}{0}&\color{Chocolate}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&9&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&1&0&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 5
How many $$$30$$$'s are in $$$100$$$?
The answer is $$$3$$$.
Write down $$$3$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$100-30 \cdot 3 = 100 - 90= 10$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}0&0&7&3&.&\color{Chartreuse}{3}&\phantom{3}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{30}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}2&2&0&0&.&0& 0 \downarrow\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&2&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&2&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}2&1&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&1&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&9&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&\color{Chartreuse}{1}&\color{Chartreuse}{0}&\phantom{.}&\color{Chartreuse}{0}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&\phantom{.}&9&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&1&\phantom{.}&0&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 6
How many $$$30$$$'s are in $$$100$$$?
The answer is $$$3$$$.
Write down $$$3$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$100-30 \cdot 3 = 100 - 90= 10$$$.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}0&0&7&3&.&3&\color{OrangeRed}{3}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{30}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}2&2&0&0&.&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&2&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&2&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}2&1&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&1&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&9&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&1&0&\phantom{.}&0\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&\phantom{.}&9&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&\color{OrangeRed}{1}&\phantom{.}&\color{OrangeRed}{0}&\color{OrangeRed}{0}\\&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&&9&\phantom{.}&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&1&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
As can be seen, the digits are repeating with some period, therefore it is a repeating (or recurring) decimal: $$$\frac{2200}{30}=73. \overline{3}$$$
Answer: $$$\frac{2200}{30}=73.\overline{3}$$$
