Fraction to Decimal Calculator

Convert fractions to decimals step by step

The calculator will convert the given fraction (proper or improper) or mixed number into a decimal (possibly, repeating or recurring), with steps shown.

Enter a fraction or

If you don't need a mixed number, leave the left cell empty.
If you need a negative fraction, write the minus sign in the left cell.

If the calculator did not compute something or you have identified an error, or you have a suggestion/feedback, please contact us.

Solution

Your input: convert $$$\frac{3600}{40}$$$ into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccc}\phantom{9}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\40&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccc}3&6&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 1

How many $$$40$$$'s are in $$$3$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$3-40 \cdot 0 = 3 - 0= 3$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}\color{Fuchsia}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{40}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}\color{Fuchsia}{3}& 6 \downarrow&0&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}3&6&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 2

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

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$36-40 \cdot 0 = 36 - 0= 36$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&\color{Peru}{0}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{40}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}3&6& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Peru}{3}&\color{Peru}{6}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}3&6&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 3

How many $$$40$$$'s are in $$$360$$$?

The answer is $$$9$$$.

Write down $$$9$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$360-40 \cdot 9 = 360 - 360= 0$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&0&\color{DeepPink}{9}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{40}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}3&6&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}3&6&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{DeepPink}{3}&\color{DeepPink}{6}&\color{DeepPink}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}3&6&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&0&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 4

How many $$$40$$$'s are in $$$0$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$0-40 \cdot 0 = 0 - 0= 0$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&0&9&\color{Chocolate}{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{40}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}3&6&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}3&6&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}3&6&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}3&6&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&\color{Chocolate}{0}&\color{Chocolate}{0}&\phantom{.}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&0&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 5

How many $$$40$$$'s are in $$$0$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$0-40 \cdot 0 = 0 - 0= 0$$$.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&0&9&0&.&\color{Chartreuse}{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{40}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}3&6&0&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}3&6&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}3&6&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}3&6&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&0&0&\phantom{.}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&\color{Chartreuse}{0}&\phantom{.}&\color{Chartreuse}{0}\\&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&&\phantom{.}&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Since the remainder is $$$0$$$, then we are done.

Therefore, $$$\frac{3600}{40}=90.0$$$

Answer: $$$\frac{3600}{40}=90.0$$$
