Fraction to Decimal Calculator

Your input: convert $$$\frac{3200}{55}$$$ into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccc}\phantom{5}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{1}\end{array}&\\55&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccc}3&2&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 1

How many $$$55$$$'s are in $$$3$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$3-55 \cdot 0 = 3 - 0= 3$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccccc}\color{DarkCyan}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{1}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{55}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccccc}\color{DarkCyan}{3}& 2 \downarrow&0&0&.&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllllll}-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}3&2&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 2

How many $$$55$$$'s are in $$$32$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$32-55 \cdot 0 = 32 - 0= 32$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccccc}0&\color{Crimson}{0}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{1}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{55}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccccc}3&2& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllllll}-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Crimson}{3}&\color{Crimson}{2}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}3&2&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 3

How many $$$55$$$'s are in $$$320$$$?

The answer is $$$5$$$.

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

Now, $$$320-55 \cdot 5 = 320 - 275= 45$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccccc}0&0&\color{BlueViolet}{5}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{1}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{55}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccccc}3&2&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllllll}-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}3&2&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{BlueViolet}{3}&\color{BlueViolet}{2}&\color{BlueViolet}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}2&7&5&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&4&5&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 4

How many $$$55$$$'s are in $$$450$$$?

The answer is $$$8$$$.

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

Now, $$$450-55 \cdot 8 = 450 - 440= 10$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccccc}0&0&5&\color{Fuchsia}{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{1}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{55}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccccc}3&2&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllllll}-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}3&2&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}3&2&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}2&7&5&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&\color{Fuchsia}{4}&\color{Fuchsia}{5}&\color{Fuchsia}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&4&4&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&1&0&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 5

How many $$$55$$$'s are in $$$100$$$?

The answer is $$$1$$$.

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

Now, $$$100-55 \cdot 1 = 100 - 55= 45$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

As can be seen, the digits are repeating with some period, therefore it is a repeating (or recurring) decimal: $$$\frac{3200}{55}=58.1 \overline{81}$$$

Answer: $$$\frac{3200}{55}=58.1\overline{81}$$$
