Fraction to Decimal Calculator

Your input: convert $$$\frac{4000}{42}$$$ into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccc}\phantom{9}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{2}\end{array}&\\42&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccc}4&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 1

How many $$$42$$$'s are in $$$4$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$4-42 \cdot 0 = 4 - 0= 4$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccccc}\color{Peru}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{2}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{42}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccccc}\color{Peru}{4}& 0 \downarrow&0&0&.&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllllllllllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 2

How many $$$42$$$'s are in $$$40$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$40-42 \cdot 0 = 40 - 0= 40$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccccc}0&\color{SaddleBrown}{0}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{2}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{42}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccccc}4&0& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllllllllllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{SaddleBrown}{4}&\color{SaddleBrown}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&0&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 3

How many $$$42$$$'s are in $$$400$$$?

The answer is $$$9$$$.

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

Now, $$$400-42 \cdot 9 = 400 - 378= 22$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccccc}0&0&\color{OrangeRed}{9}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{2}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{42}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccccc}4&0&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllllllllllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{OrangeRed}{4}&\color{OrangeRed}{0}&\color{OrangeRed}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}3&7&8&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&2&2&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 4

How many $$$42$$$'s are in $$$220$$$?

The answer is $$$5$$$.

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

Now, $$$220-42 \cdot 5 = 220 - 210= 10$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

Step 5

How many $$$42$$$'s are in $$$100$$$?

The answer is $$$2$$$.

Write down $$$2$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$100-42 \cdot 2 = 100 - 84= 16$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

Step 16

How many $$$42$$$'s are in $$$220$$$?

The answer is $$$5$$$.

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

Now, $$$220-42 \cdot 5 = 220 - 210= 10$$$.

As can be seen, the digits are repeating with some period, therefore it is a repeating (or recurring) decimal: $$$\frac{4000}{42}=95.2 \overline{380952}$$$
