Solution

Your input: convert $$$\frac{800}{33}$$$ into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccc}\phantom{2}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{4}\end{array}&\\33&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccc}8&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 1

How many $$$33$$$'s are in $$$8$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$8-33 \cdot 0 = 8 - 0= 8$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}\color{Green}{0}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{4}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{33}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}\color{Green}{8}& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}8&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 2

How many $$$33$$$'s are in $$$80$$$?

The answer is $$$2$$$.

Write down $$$2$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$80-33 \cdot 2 = 80 - 66= 14$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&\color{Blue}{2}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{4}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{33}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}8&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Blue}{8}&\color{Blue}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}6&6&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&4&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 3

How many $$$33$$$'s are in $$$140$$$?

The answer is $$$4$$$.

Write down $$$4$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$140-33 \cdot 4 = 140 - 132= 8$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&2&\color{SaddleBrown}{4}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{4}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{33}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}8&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}8&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}6&6&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{SaddleBrown}{1}&\color{SaddleBrown}{4}&\color{SaddleBrown}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&3&2&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&8&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 4

How many $$$33$$$'s are in $$$80$$$?

The answer is $$$2$$$.

Write down $$$2$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$80-33 \cdot 2 = 80 - 66= 14$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&2&4&.&\color{DarkMagenta}{2}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{4}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{33}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}8&0&0&.&0& 0 \downarrow&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}8&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}6&6&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&4&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&3&2&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&\color{DarkMagenta}{8}&\phantom{.}&\color{DarkMagenta}{0}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&6&\phantom{.}&6\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&1&\phantom{.}&4&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 5

How many $$$33$$$'s are in $$$140$$$?

The answer is $$$4$$$.

Write down $$$4$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$140-33 \cdot 4 = 140 - 132= 8$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&2&4&.&2&\color{Violet}{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{4}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{33}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}8&0&0&.&0&0& 0 \downarrow&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}8&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}6&6&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&4&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&3&2&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&8&\phantom{.}&0\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&6&\phantom{.}&6\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&\color{Violet}{1}&\phantom{.}&\color{Violet}{4}&\color{Violet}{0}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&1&\phantom{.}&3&2\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&8&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 6

How many $$$33$$$'s are in $$$80$$$?

The answer is $$$2$$$.

Write down $$$2$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$80-33 \cdot 2 = 80 - 66= 14$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&2&4&.&2&4&\color{Red}{2}&\phantom{4}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{33}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}8&0&0&.&0&0&0& 0 \downarrow\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}8&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}6&6&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&4&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&3&2&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&8&\phantom{.}&0\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&6&\phantom{.}&6\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&1&\phantom{.}&4&0\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&1&\phantom{.}&3&2\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&\color{Red}{8}&\color{Red}{0}\\&&&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&&&6&6\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&1&4&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 7

How many $$$33$$$'s are in $$$140$$$?

The answer is $$$4$$$.

Write down $$$4$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$140-33 \cdot 4 = 140 - 132= 8$$$.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&2&4&.&2&4&2&\color{Brown}{4}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{33}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}8&0&0&.&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}8&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}6&6&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&4&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&3&2&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&8&\phantom{.}&0\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&6&\phantom{.}&6\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&1&\phantom{.}&4&0\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&1&\phantom{.}&3&2\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&8&0\\&&&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&&&6&6\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&\color{Brown}{1}&\color{Brown}{4}&\color{Brown}{0}\\&&&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&&&1&3&2\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&&&8\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

As can be seen, the digits are repeating with some period, therefore it is a repeating (or recurring) decimal: $$$\frac{800}{33}=24. \overline{24}$$$

Answer: $$$\frac{800}{33}=24.\overline{24}$$$
