Fraction to Decimal Calculator

Your input: convert $$$\frac{400}{36}$$$ into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccc}\phantom{1}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{1}\end{array}&\\36&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccc}4&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 1

How many $$$36$$$'s are in $$$4$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$4-36 \cdot 0 = 4 - 0= 4$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}\color{Brown}{0}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{1}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{36}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}\color{Brown}{4}& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 2

How many $$$36$$$'s are in $$$40$$$?

The answer is $$$1$$$.

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

Now, $$$40-36 \cdot 1 = 40 - 36= 4$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&\color{DarkMagenta}{1}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{1}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{36}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}4&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{DarkMagenta}{4}&\color{DarkMagenta}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}3&6&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&4&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 3

How many $$$36$$$'s are in $$$40$$$?

The answer is $$$1$$$.

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

Now, $$$40-36 \cdot 1 = 40 - 36= 4$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&1&\color{DarkBlue}{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{1}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{36}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}4&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}3&6&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&\color{DarkBlue}{4}&\color{DarkBlue}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&3&6&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&4&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 4

How many $$$36$$$'s are in $$$40$$$?

The answer is $$$1$$$.

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

Now, $$$40-36 \cdot 1 = 40 - 36= 4$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

Now, $$$40-36 \cdot 1 = 40 - 36= 4$$$.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&1&1&.&1&1&1&\color{GoldenRod}{1}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{36}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}4&0&0&.&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}3&6&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&4&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&3&6&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&4&\phantom{.}&0\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&3&\phantom{.}&6\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&4&0\\&&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&&3&6\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&4&0\\&&&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&&&3&6\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&&\color{GoldenRod}{4}&\color{GoldenRod}{0}\\&&&&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&&&&3&6\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&&&4\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

As can be seen, the digits are repeating with some period, therefore it is a repeating (or recurring) decimal: $$$\frac{400}{36}=11.11 \overline{1}$$$

Answer: $$$\frac{400}{36}=11.11\overline{1}$$$
