Fraction to Decimal Calculator

Your input: convert $$$\frac{4000}{45}$$$ into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccc}\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}\end{array}&\\45&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccc}4&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 1

How many $$$45$$$'s are in $$$4$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$4-45 \cdot 0 = 4 - 0= 4$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}\color{Brown}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{45}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}\color{Brown}{4}& 0 \downarrow&0&0&.&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 2

How many $$$45$$$'s are in $$$40$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$40-45 \cdot 0 = 40 - 0= 40$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&\color{Crimson}{0}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{45}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}4&0& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Crimson}{4}&\color{Crimson}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&0&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 3

How many $$$45$$$'s are in $$$400$$$?

The answer is $$$8$$$.

Write down $$$8$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$400-45 \cdot 8 = 400 - 360= 40$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&0&\color{Red}{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{45}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}4&0&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Red}{4}&\color{Red}{0}&\color{Red}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}3&6&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&4&0&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 4

How many $$$45$$$'s are in $$$400$$$?

The answer is $$$8$$$.

Write down $$$8$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$400-45 \cdot 8 = 400 - 360= 40$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&0&8&\color{GoldenRod}{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{45}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}4&0&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}3&6&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&\color{GoldenRod}{4}&\color{GoldenRod}{0}&\color{GoldenRod}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&3&6&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&4&0&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 5

How many $$$45$$$'s are in $$$400$$$?

The answer is $$$8$$$.

Write down $$$8$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$400-45 \cdot 8 = 400 - 360= 40$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&0&8&8&.&\color{BlueViolet}{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{45}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}4&0&0&0&.&0& 0 \downarrow&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}3&6&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&4&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&3&6&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&\color{BlueViolet}{4}&\color{BlueViolet}{0}&\phantom{.}&\color{BlueViolet}{0}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&3&6&\phantom{.}&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&4&\phantom{.}&0&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 7

How many $$$45$$$'s are in $$$400$$$?

The answer is $$$8$$$.

Write down $$$8$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$400-45 \cdot 8 = 400 - 360= 40$$$.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&0&8&8&.&8&8&\color{Peru}{8}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{45}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}4&0&0&0&.&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}3&6&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&4&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&3&6&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&4&0&\phantom{.}&0\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&3&6&\phantom{.}&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&4&\phantom{.}&0&0\\&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&3&\phantom{.}&6&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&\color{Peru}{4}&\color{Peru}{0}&\color{Peru}{0}\\&&&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&&&3&6&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&&4&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

As can be seen, the digits are repeating with some period, therefore it is a repeating (or recurring) decimal: $$$\frac{4000}{45}=88.8 \overline{8}$$$

Answer: $$$\frac{4000}{45}=88.8\overline{8}$$$
