Your input: convert $$$\frac{4500}{75}$$$ into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccc}\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\75&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccc}4&5&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 1

How many $$$75$$$'s are in $$$4$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$4-75 \cdot 0 = 4 - 0= 4$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}\color{DarkMagenta}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{75}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}\color{DarkMagenta}{4}& 5 \downarrow&0&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&5&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 2

How many $$$75$$$'s are in $$$45$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$45-75 \cdot 0 = 45 - 0= 45$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&\color{Fuchsia}{0}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{75}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}4&5& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Fuchsia}{4}&\color{Fuchsia}{5}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&5&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 3

How many $$$75$$$'s are in $$$450$$$?

The answer is $$$6$$$.

Write down $$$6$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$450-75 \cdot 6 = 450 - 450= 0$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&0&\color{Red}{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{75}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}4&5&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&5&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Red}{4}&\color{Red}{5}&\color{Red}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}4&5&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&0&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 4

How many $$$75$$$'s are in $$$0$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$0-75 \cdot 0 = 0 - 0= 0$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&0&6&\color{DarkCyan}{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{75}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}4&5&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&5&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&5&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}4&5&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&\color{DarkCyan}{0}&\color{DarkCyan}{0}&\phantom{.}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&0&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 5

How many $$$75$$$'s are in $$$0$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$0-75 \cdot 0 = 0 - 0= 0$$$.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&0&6&0&.&\color{DeepPink}{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{75}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}4&5&0&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&5&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&5&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}4&5&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&0&0&\phantom{.}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&\color{DeepPink}{0}&\phantom{.}&\color{DeepPink}{0}\\&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&&\phantom{.}&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

As can be seen, the digits are repeating with some period, therefore it is a repeating (or recurring) decimal: $$$\frac{4500}{75}=60.0 \overline{}$$$

Answer: $$$\frac{4500}{75}=60.0\overline{}$$$
