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 $$$\frac{2800}{33}$$$ into a decimal.
Write the problem in the special format:
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccc}\phantom{8}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{4}\end{array}&\\33&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccc}2&8&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 1
How many $$$33$$$'s are in $$$2$$$?
The answer is $$$0$$$.
Write down $$$0$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$2-33 \cdot 0 = 2 - 0= 2$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccc}\color{DarkCyan}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{4}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{33}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccc}\color{DarkCyan}{2}& 8 \downarrow&0&0&.&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllll}-&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&8&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 2
How many $$$33$$$'s are in $$$28$$$?
The answer is $$$0$$$.
Write down $$$0$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$28-33 \cdot 0 = 28 - 0= 28$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccc}0&\color{DeepPink}{0}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{4}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{33}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccc}2&8& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllll}-&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{DeepPink}{2}&\color{DeepPink}{8}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&8&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 3
How many $$$33$$$'s are in $$$280$$$?
The answer is $$$8$$$.
Write down $$$8$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$280-33 \cdot 8 = 280 - 264= 16$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccc}0&0&\color{BlueViolet}{8}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{4}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{33}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccc}2&8&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllll}-&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&8&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{BlueViolet}{2}&\color{BlueViolet}{8}&\color{BlueViolet}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}2&6&4&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&1&6&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 4
How many $$$33$$$'s are in $$$160$$$?
The answer is $$$4$$$.
Write down $$$4$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$160-33 \cdot 4 = 160 - 132= 28$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccc}0&0&8&\color{Chocolate}{4}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{4}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{33}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccc}2&8&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllll}-&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&8&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&8&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}2&6&4&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&\color{Chocolate}{1}&\color{Chocolate}{6}&\color{Chocolate}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&1&3&2&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&2&8&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 5
How many $$$33$$$'s are in $$$280$$$?
The answer is $$$8$$$.
Write down $$$8$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$280-33 \cdot 8 = 280 - 264= 16$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

Step 6
How many $$$33$$$'s are in $$$160$$$?
The answer is $$$4$$$.
Write down $$$4$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$160-33 \cdot 4 = 160 - 132= 28$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

Step 8
How many $$$33$$$'s are in $$$160$$$?
The answer is $$$4$$$.
Write down $$$4$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$160-33 \cdot 4 = 160 - 132= 28$$$.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccc}0&0&8&4&.&8&4&8&\color{Crimson}{4}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{33}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccc}2&8&0&0&.&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllll}-&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&8&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&8&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}2&6&4&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&1&6&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&1&3&2&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&2&8&\phantom{.}&0\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&2&6&\phantom{.}&4\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&1&\phantom{.}&6&0\\&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&1&\phantom{.}&3&2\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&2&8&0\\&&&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&&&2&6&4\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&&\color{Crimson}{1}&\color{Crimson}{6}&\color{Crimson}{0}\\&&&&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&&&&1&3&2\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&&&2&8\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
As can be seen, the digits are repeating with some period, therefore it is a repeating (or recurring) decimal: $$$\frac{2800}{33}=84. \overline{84}$$$
Answer: $$$\frac{2800}{33}=84.\overline{84}$$$
