Fraction to Decimal Calculator

Your input: convert $$$\frac{1500}{36}$$$ into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccc}\phantom{4}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}\end{array}&\\36&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccc}1&5&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

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.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccc}\color{GoldenRod}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{36}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccc}\color{GoldenRod}{1}& 5 \downarrow&0&0&.&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&5&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 2

How many $$$36$$$'s are in $$$15$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$15-36 \cdot 0 = 15 - 0= 15$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccc}0&\color{Green}{0}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{36}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccc}1&5& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Green}{1}&\color{Green}{5}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&5&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 3

How many $$$36$$$'s are in $$$150$$$?

The answer is $$$4$$$.

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

Now, $$$150-36 \cdot 4 = 150 - 144= 6$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccc}0&0&\color{Chocolate}{4}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{36}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccc}1&5&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&5&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Chocolate}{1}&\color{Chocolate}{5}&\color{Chocolate}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&4&4&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&6&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 4

How many $$$36$$$'s are in $$$60$$$?

The answer is $$$1$$$.

Write down $$$1$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$60-36 \cdot 1 = 60 - 36= 24$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccc}0&0&4&\color{Blue}{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{36}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccc}1&5&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&5&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&5&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&4&4&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&\color{Blue}{6}&\color{Blue}{0}&\phantom{.}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&3&6&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&2&4&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 5

How many $$$36$$$'s are in $$$240$$$?

The answer is $$$6$$$.

Write down $$$6$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$240-36 \cdot 6 = 240 - 216= 24$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccc}0&0&4&1&.&\color{Chartreuse}{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{36}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccc}1&5&0&0&.&0& 0 \downarrow&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&5&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&5&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&4&4&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&6&0&\phantom{.}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&3&6&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&\color{Chartreuse}{2}&\color{Chartreuse}{4}&\phantom{.}&\color{Chartreuse}{0}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&2&1&\phantom{.}&6\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&2&\phantom{.}&4&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccc}0&0&4&1&.&6&6&6&\color{Brown}{6}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{36}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccc}1&5&0&0&.&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&5&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&5&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&4&4&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&6&0&\phantom{.}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&3&6&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&2&4&\phantom{.}&0\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&2&1&\phantom{.}&6\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&2&\phantom{.}&4&0\\&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&2&\phantom{.}&1&6\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&2&4&0\\&&&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&&&2&1&6\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&&\color{Brown}{2}&\color{Brown}{4}&\color{Brown}{0}\\&&&&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&&&&2&1&6\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&&&2&4\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

As can be seen, the digits are repeating with some period, therefore it is a repeating (or recurring) decimal: $$$\frac{1500}{36}=41.66 \overline{6}$$$

Answer: $$$\frac{1500}{36}=41.66\overline{6}$$$
