Fraction to Decimal Calculator

Your input: convert $$$\frac{1000}{36}$$$ into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccc}\phantom{2}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{7}\end{array}&\\36&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 1

How many $$$36$$$'s are in $$$1$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$1-36 \cdot 0 = 1 - 0= 1$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccc}\color{Chartreuse}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{7}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{36}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccc}\color{Chartreuse}{1}& 0 \downarrow&0&0&.&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 2

How many $$$36$$$'s are in $$$10$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$10-36 \cdot 0 = 10 - 0= 10$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccc}0&\color{Green}{0}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{7}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{36}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccc}1&0& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Green}{1}&\color{Green}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&0&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 3

How many $$$36$$$'s are in $$$100$$$?

The answer is $$$2$$$.

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

Now, $$$100-36 \cdot 2 = 100 - 72= 28$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccc}0&0&\color{Purple}{2}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{7}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{36}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccc}1&0&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Purple}{1}&\color{Purple}{0}&\color{Purple}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&7&2&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&2&8&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 4

How many $$$36$$$'s are in $$$280$$$?

The answer is $$$7$$$.

Write down $$$7$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$280-36 \cdot 7 = 280 - 252= 28$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccc}0&0&2&\color{Violet}{7}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{7}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{36}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccc}1&0&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&7&2&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&\color{Violet}{2}&\color{Violet}{8}&\color{Violet}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&2&5&2&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&2&8&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 5

How many $$$36$$$'s are in $$$280$$$?

The answer is $$$7$$$.

Write down $$$7$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$280-36 \cdot 7 = 280 - 252= 28$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccc}0&0&2&7&.&\color{Brown}{7}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{7}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{36}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccc}1&0&0&0&.&0& 0 \downarrow&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&7&2&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&2&8&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&2&5&2&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&\color{Brown}{2}&\color{Brown}{8}&\phantom{.}&\color{Brown}{0}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&2&5&\phantom{.}&2\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&2&\phantom{.}&8&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccc}0&0&2&7&.&7&7&7&\color{Fuchsia}{7}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{36}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccc}1&0&0&0&.&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&7&2&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&2&8&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&2&5&2&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&2&8&\phantom{.}&0\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&2&5&\phantom{.}&2\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&2&\phantom{.}&8&0\\&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&2&\phantom{.}&5&2\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&2&8&0\\&&&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&&&2&5&2\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&&\color{Fuchsia}{2}&\color{Fuchsia}{8}&\color{Fuchsia}{0}\\&&&&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&&&&2&5&2\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&&&2&8\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

As can be seen, the digits are repeating with some period, therefore it is a repeating (or recurring) decimal: $$$\frac{1000}{36}=27.77 \overline{7}$$$

Answer: $$$\frac{1000}{36}=27.77\overline{7}$$$
