Fraction to Decimal Calculator
Convert fractions to decimals step by step
The calculator will convert the given fraction (proper or improper) or mixed number into a decimal (possibly, repeating or recurring), with steps shown.
Solution
Your input: convert $$$\frac{5000}{64}$$$ into a decimal.
Write the problem in the special format:
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccc}\phantom{7}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\64&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccc}5&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 1
How many $$$64$$$'s are in $$$5$$$?
The answer is $$$0$$$.
Write down $$$0$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$5-64 \cdot 0 = 5 - 0= 5$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}\color{Chartreuse}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{64}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}\color{Chartreuse}{5}& 0 \downarrow&0&0&.&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 2
How many $$$64$$$'s are in $$$50$$$?
The answer is $$$0$$$.
Write down $$$0$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$50-64 \cdot 0 = 50 - 0= 50$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&\color{Green}{0}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{64}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}5&0& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Green}{5}&\color{Green}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&0&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 3
How many $$$64$$$'s are in $$$500$$$?
The answer is $$$7$$$.
Write down $$$7$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$500-64 \cdot 7 = 500 - 448= 52$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&0&\color{Purple}{7}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{64}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}5&0&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Purple}{5}&\color{Purple}{0}&\color{Purple}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}4&4&8&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&5&2&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 4
How many $$$64$$$'s are in $$$520$$$?
The answer is $$$8$$$.
Write down $$$8$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$520-64 \cdot 8 = 520 - 512= 8$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&0&7&\color{Violet}{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{64}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}5&0&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}4&4&8&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&\color{Violet}{5}&\color{Violet}{2}&\color{Violet}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&5&1&2&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&8&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 5
How many $$$64$$$'s are in $$$80$$$?
The answer is $$$1$$$.
Write down $$$1$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$80-64 \cdot 1 = 80 - 64= 16$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&0&7&8&.&\color{Brown}{1}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{64}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}5&0&0&0&.&0& 0 \downarrow&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}4&4&8&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&5&2&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&5&1&2&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&\color{Brown}{8}&\phantom{.}&\color{Brown}{0}\\&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&6&\phantom{.}&4\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&1&\phantom{.}&6&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 6
How many $$$64$$$'s are in $$$160$$$?
The answer is $$$2$$$.
Write down $$$2$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$160-64 \cdot 2 = 160 - 128= 32$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&0&7&8&.&1&\color{Blue}{2}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{64}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}5&0&0&0&.&0&0& 0 \downarrow\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}4&4&8&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&5&2&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&5&1&2&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&8&\phantom{.}&0\\&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&6&\phantom{.}&4\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&\color{Blue}{1}&\phantom{.}&\color{Blue}{6}&\color{Blue}{0}\\&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&1&\phantom{.}&2&8\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&3&2&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 7
How many $$$64$$$'s are in $$$320$$$?
The answer is $$$5$$$.
Write down $$$5$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$320-64 \cdot 5 = 320 - 320= 0$$$.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&0&7&8&.&1&2&\color{Peru}{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{64}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}5&0&0&0&.&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}4&4&8&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&5&2&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&5&1&2&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&8&\phantom{.}&0\\&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&6&\phantom{.}&4\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&1&\phantom{.}&6&0\\&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&1&\phantom{.}&2&8\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&\color{Peru}{3}&\color{Peru}{2}&\color{Peru}{0}\\&&&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&&&3&2&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&&&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Since the remainder is $$$0$$$, then we are done.
Therefore, $$$\frac{5000}{64}=78.125$$$
Answer: $$$\frac{5000}{64}=78.125$$$
