Fraction to Decimal Calculator

Your input: convert $$$\frac{200}{36}$$$ into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccc}\phantom{5}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\36&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccc}2&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 1

How many $$$36$$$'s are in $$$2$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$2-36 \cdot 0 = 2 - 0= 2$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}\color{Peru}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{36}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}\color{Peru}{2}& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 2

How many $$$36$$$'s are in $$$20$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$20-36 \cdot 0 = 20 - 0= 20$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&\color{DarkMagenta}{0}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{36}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}2&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{DarkMagenta}{2}&\color{DarkMagenta}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&0&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 3

How many $$$36$$$'s are in $$$200$$$?

The answer is $$$5$$$.

Write down $$$5$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$200-36 \cdot 5 = 200 - 180= 20$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&0&\color{Blue}{5}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{36}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}2&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Blue}{2}&\color{Blue}{0}&\color{Blue}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&8&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&2&0&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 4

How many $$$36$$$'s are in $$$200$$$?

The answer is $$$5$$$.

Write down $$$5$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$200-36 \cdot 5 = 200 - 180= 20$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&0&5&.&\color{Red}{5}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{36}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}2&0&0&.&0& 0 \downarrow&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&8&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&\color{Red}{2}&\color{Red}{0}&\phantom{.}&\color{Red}{0}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&1&8&\phantom{.}&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&2&\phantom{.}&0&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 5

How many $$$36$$$'s are in $$$200$$$?

The answer is $$$5$$$.

Write down $$$5$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$200-36 \cdot 5 = 200 - 180= 20$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&0&5&.&5&\color{Chocolate}{5}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{36}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}2&0&0&.&0&0& 0 \downarrow&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&8&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&2&0&\phantom{.}&0\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&1&8&\phantom{.}&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&\color{Chocolate}{2}&\phantom{.}&\color{Chocolate}{0}&\color{Chocolate}{0}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&1&\phantom{.}&8&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&2&0&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 6

How many $$$36$$$'s are in $$$200$$$?

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&0&5&.&5&5&\color{BlueViolet}{5}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{36}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}2&0&0&.&0&0&0& 0 \downarrow\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&8&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&2&0&\phantom{.}&0\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&1&8&\phantom{.}&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&2&\phantom{.}&0&0\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&1&\phantom{.}&8&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&\color{BlueViolet}{2}&\color{BlueViolet}{0}&\color{BlueViolet}{0}\\&&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&&1&8&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&2&0&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 7

How many $$$36$$$'s are in $$$200$$$?

The answer is $$$5$$$.

Write down $$$5$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$200-36 \cdot 5 = 200 - 180= 20$$$.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&0&5&.&5&5&5&\color{SaddleBrown}{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{36}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}2&0&0&.&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&8&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&2&0&\phantom{.}&0\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&1&8&\phantom{.}&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&2&\phantom{.}&0&0\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&1&\phantom{.}&8&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&2&0&0\\&&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&&1&8&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&\color{SaddleBrown}{2}&\color{SaddleBrown}{0}&\color{SaddleBrown}{0}\\&&&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&&&1&8&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&&2&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

As can be seen, the digits are repeating with some period, therefore it is a repeating (or recurring) decimal: $$$\frac{200}{36}=5.55 \overline{5}$$$

Answer: $$$\frac{200}{36}=5.55\overline{5}$$$
