Fraction to Decimal Calculator

Your input: convert $$$\frac{500}{7}$$$ into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccc}\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}\end{array}&\\7&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccc}5&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 1

How many $$$7$$$'s are in $$$5$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$5-7 \cdot 0 = 5 - 0= 5$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccc}\color{Brown}{0}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{7}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccc}\color{Brown}{5}& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllllllllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 2

How many $$$7$$$'s are in $$$50$$$?

The answer is $$$7$$$.

Write down $$$7$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$50-7 \cdot 7 = 50 - 49= 1$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccc}0&\color{DarkCyan}{7}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{7}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccc}5&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllllllllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{DarkCyan}{5}&\color{DarkCyan}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}4&9&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&1&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 3

How many $$$7$$$'s are in $$$10$$$?

The answer is $$$1$$$.

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

Now, $$$10-7 \cdot 1 = 10 - 7= 3$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccc}0&7&\color{SaddleBrown}{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{7}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccc}5&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllllllllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}4&9&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&\color{SaddleBrown}{1}&\color{SaddleBrown}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&7&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&3&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 4

How many $$$7$$$'s are in $$$30$$$?

The answer is $$$4$$$.

Write down $$$4$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$30-7 \cdot 4 = 30 - 28= 2$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccc}0&7&1&.&\color{DarkMagenta}{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{7}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccc}5&0&0&.&0& 0 \downarrow&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllllllllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}4&9&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&1&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&7&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&\color{DarkMagenta}{3}&\phantom{.}&\color{DarkMagenta}{0}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&2&\phantom{.}&8\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&2&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 5

How many $$$7$$$'s are in $$$20$$$?

The answer is $$$1$$$.

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

Now, $$$10-7 \cdot 1 = 10 - 7= 3$$$.
