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 $$$\frac{2600}{32}$$$ into a decimal.
Write the problem in the special format:
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccc}\phantom{8}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\32&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccc}2&6&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 1
How many $$$32$$$'s are in $$$2$$$?
The answer is $$$0$$$.
Write down $$$0$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$2-32 \cdot 0 = 2 - 0= 2$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}\color{Chartreuse}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{32}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}\color{Chartreuse}{2}& 6 \downarrow&0&0&.&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&6&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 2
How many $$$32$$$'s are in $$$26$$$?
The answer is $$$0$$$.
Write down $$$0$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$26-32 \cdot 0 = 26 - 0= 26$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}0&\color{Violet}{0}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{32}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}2&6& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Violet}{2}&\color{Violet}{6}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&6&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 3
How many $$$32$$$'s are in $$$260$$$?
The answer is $$$8$$$.
Write down $$$8$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$260-32 \cdot 8 = 260 - 256= 4$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}0&0&\color{Fuchsia}{8}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{32}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}2&6&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&6&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Fuchsia}{2}&\color{Fuchsia}{6}&\color{Fuchsia}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}2&5&6&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&4&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 4
How many $$$32$$$'s are in $$$40$$$?
The answer is $$$1$$$.
Write down $$$1$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$40-32 \cdot 1 = 40 - 32= 8$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}0&0&8&\color{Blue}{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{32}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}2&6&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&6&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&6&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}2&5&6&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&\color{Blue}{4}&\color{Blue}{0}&\phantom{.}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&3&2&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&8&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 5
How many $$$32$$$'s are in $$$80$$$?
The answer is $$$2$$$.
Write down $$$2$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$80-32 \cdot 2 = 80 - 64= 16$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}0&0&8&1&.&\color{DeepPink}{2}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{32}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}2&6&0&0&.&0& 0 \downarrow\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&6&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&6&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}2&5&6&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&4&0&\phantom{.}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&3&2&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&\color{DeepPink}{8}&\phantom{.}&\color{DeepPink}{0}\\&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&6&\phantom{.}&4\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&1&\phantom{.}&6&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 6
How many $$$32$$$'s are in $$$160$$$?
The answer is $$$5$$$.
Write down $$$5$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$160-32 \cdot 5 = 160 - 160= 0$$$.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}0&0&8&1&.&2&\color{Brown}{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{32}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}2&6&0&0&.&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&6&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&6&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}2&5&6&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&4&0&\phantom{.}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&3&2&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&8&\phantom{.}&0\\&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&6&\phantom{.}&4\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&\color{Brown}{1}&\phantom{.}&\color{Brown}{6}&\color{Brown}{0}\\&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&1&\phantom{.}&6&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Since the remainder is $$$0$$$, then we are done.
Therefore, $$$\frac{2600}{32}=81.25$$$
Answer: $$$\frac{2600}{32}=81.25$$$
