Your input: convert $$$\frac{900}{5}$$$ into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccc}\phantom{1}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\5&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccc}9&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 1

How many $$$5$$$'s are in $$$9$$$?

The answer is $$$1$$$.

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

Now, $$$9-5 \cdot 1 = 9 - 5= 4$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccc}\color{SaddleBrown}{1}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{5}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccc}\color{SaddleBrown}{9}& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}5&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 2

How many $$$5$$$'s are in $$$40$$$?

The answer is $$$8$$$.

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

Now, $$$40-5 \cdot 8 = 40 - 40= 0$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccc}1&\color{Brown}{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{5}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccc}9&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}5&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Brown}{4}&\color{Brown}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}4&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&0&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 3

How many $$$5$$$'s are in $$$0$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$0-5 \cdot 0 = 0 - 0= 0$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccc}1&8&\color{DarkMagenta}{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{5}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccc}9&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}5&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}4&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&\color{DarkMagenta}{0}&\color{DarkMagenta}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&0&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 4

How many $$$5$$$'s are in $$$0$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$0-5 \cdot 0 = 0 - 0= 0$$$.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccc}1&8&0&.&\color{Red}{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{5}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccc}9&0&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}5&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}4&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&\color{Red}{0}&\phantom{.}&\color{Red}{0}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&\phantom{.}&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

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

Therefore, $$$\frac{900}{5}=180.0$$$

Answer: $$$\frac{900}{5}=180.0$$$
