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.
Solution
Your input: convert $$$\frac{3900}{42}$$$ into a decimal.
Write the problem in the special format:
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccc}\phantom{9}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{8}\end{array}&\\42&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccc}3&9&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 1
How many $$$42$$$'s are in $$$3$$$?
The answer is $$$0$$$.
Write down $$$0$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$3-42 \cdot 0 = 3 - 0= 3$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccccc}\color{Chartreuse}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{8}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{42}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccccc}\color{Chartreuse}{3}& 9 \downarrow&0&0&.&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllllllllllllll}-&\phantom{9}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}3&9&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 2
How many $$$42$$$'s are in $$$39$$$?
The answer is $$$0$$$.
Write down $$$0$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$39-42 \cdot 0 = 39 - 0= 39$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccccc}0&\color{Green}{0}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{8}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{42}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccccc}3&9& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllllllllllllll}-&\phantom{9}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Green}{3}&\color{Green}{9}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{9}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}3&9&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 3
How many $$$42$$$'s are in $$$390$$$?
The answer is $$$9$$$.
Write down $$$9$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$390-42 \cdot 9 = 390 - 378= 12$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

Step 4
How many $$$42$$$'s are in $$$120$$$?
The answer is $$$2$$$.
Write down $$$2$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$120-42 \cdot 2 = 120 - 84= 36$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

Step 5
How many $$$42$$$'s are in $$$360$$$?
The answer is $$$8$$$.
Write down $$$8$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$360-42 \cdot 8 = 360 - 336= 24$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

Step 6
How many $$$42$$$'s are in $$$240$$$?
The answer is $$$5$$$.
Write down $$$5$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$240-42 \cdot 5 = 240 - 210= 30$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

Step 16
How many $$$42$$$'s are in $$$120$$$?
The answer is $$$2$$$.

As can be seen, the digits are repeating with some period, therefore it is a repeating (or recurring) decimal: $$$\frac{3900}{42}=92.8 \overline{571428}$$$
