Your input: convert $$$\frac{5100}{60}$$$ into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccc}\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\60&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccc}5&1&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 1

How many $$$60$$$'s are in $$$5$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$5-60 \cdot 0 = 5 - 0= 5$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}\color{Fuchsia}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{60}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}\color{Fuchsia}{5}& 1 \downarrow&0&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{1}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&1&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 2

How many $$$60$$$'s are in $$$51$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$51-60 \cdot 0 = 51 - 0= 51$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&\color{Peru}{0}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{60}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}5&1& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{1}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Peru}{5}&\color{Peru}{1}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{1}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&1&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 3

How many $$$60$$$'s are in $$$510$$$?

The answer is $$$8$$$.

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

Now, $$$510-60 \cdot 8 = 510 - 480= 30$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&0&\color{DeepPink}{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{60}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}5&1&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{1}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&1&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{1}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{DeepPink}{5}&\color{DeepPink}{1}&\color{DeepPink}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{1}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}4&8&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&3&0&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 4

How many $$$60$$$'s are in $$$300$$$?

The answer is $$$5$$$.

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

Now, $$$300-60 \cdot 5 = 300 - 300= 0$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&0&8&\color{Chocolate}{5}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{60}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}5&1&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{1}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&1&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{1}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&1&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{1}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}4&8&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&\color{Chocolate}{3}&\color{Chocolate}{0}&\color{Chocolate}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{1}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&3&0&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&0&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 5

How many $$$60$$$'s are in $$$0$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$0-60 \cdot 0 = 0 - 0= 0$$$.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&0&8&5&.&\color{Chartreuse}{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{60}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}5&1&0&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{1}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&1&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{1}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&1&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{1}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}4&8&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&3&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{1}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&3&0&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&\color{Chartreuse}{0}&\phantom{.}&\color{Chartreuse}{0}\\&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&&\phantom{.}&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

As can be seen, the digits are repeating with some period, therefore it is a repeating (or recurring) decimal: $$$\frac{5100}{60}=85.0 \overline{}$$$

Answer: $$$\frac{5100}{60}=85.0\overline{}$$$
