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 $$$\frac{1400}{32}$$$ into a decimal.
Write the problem in the special format:
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccc}\phantom{4}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\32&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccc}1&4&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 1
How many $$$32$$$'s are in $$$1$$$?
The answer is $$$0$$$.
Write down $$$0$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$1-32 \cdot 0 = 1 - 0= 1$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}\color{Brown}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{32}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}\color{Brown}{1}& 4 \downarrow&0&0&.&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&4&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 2
How many $$$32$$$'s are in $$$14$$$?
The answer is $$$0$$$.
Write down $$$0$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$14-32 \cdot 0 = 14 - 0= 14$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}0&\color{DarkMagenta}{0}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{32}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}1&4& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{DarkMagenta}{1}&\color{DarkMagenta}{4}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&4&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 3
How many $$$32$$$'s are in $$$140$$$?
The answer is $$$4$$$.
Write down $$$4$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$140-32 \cdot 4 = 140 - 128= 12$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}0&0&\color{DarkBlue}{4}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{32}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}1&4&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&4&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{DarkBlue}{1}&\color{DarkBlue}{4}&\color{DarkBlue}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&2&8&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&1&2&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 4
How many $$$32$$$'s are in $$$120$$$?
The answer is $$$3$$$.
Write down $$$3$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$120-32 \cdot 3 = 120 - 96= 24$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}0&0&4&\color{Purple}{3}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{32}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}1&4&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&4&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&4&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&2&8&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&\color{Purple}{1}&\color{Purple}{2}&\color{Purple}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&9&6&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&2&4&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 5
How many $$$32$$$'s are in $$$240$$$?
The answer is $$$7$$$.
Write down $$$7$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$240-32 \cdot 7 = 240 - 224= 16$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}0&0&4&3&.&\color{DarkCyan}{7}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{32}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}1&4&0&0&.&0& 0 \downarrow\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&4&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&4&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&2&8&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&1&2&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&9&6&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&\color{DarkCyan}{2}&\color{DarkCyan}{4}&\phantom{.}&\color{DarkCyan}{0}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&2&2&\phantom{.}&4\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&1&\phantom{.}&6&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 6
How many $$$32$$$'s are in $$$160$$$?
The answer is $$$5$$$.
Write down $$$5$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$160-32 \cdot 5 = 160 - 160= 0$$$.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}0&0&4&3&.&7&\color{Chartreuse}{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{32}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}1&4&0&0&.&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&4&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&4&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&2&8&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&1&2&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&9&6&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&2&4&\phantom{.}&0\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&2&2&\phantom{.}&4\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&\color{Chartreuse}{1}&\phantom{.}&\color{Chartreuse}{6}&\color{Chartreuse}{0}\\&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&1&\phantom{.}&6&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Since the remainder is $$$0$$$, then we are done.
Therefore, $$$\frac{1400}{32}=43.75$$$
Answer: $$$\frac{1400}{32}=43.75$$$
