Fraction to Decimal Calculator

Your input: convert $$$\frac{5500}{75}$$$ into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccc}\phantom{7}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}\end{array}&\\75&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccc}5&5&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 1

How many $$$75$$$'s are in $$$5$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$5-75 \cdot 0 = 5 - 0= 5$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccc}\color{Green}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{75}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccc}\color{Green}{5}& 5 \downarrow&0&0&.&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&5&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 2

How many $$$75$$$'s are in $$$55$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$55-75 \cdot 0 = 55 - 0= 55$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccc}0&\color{BlueViolet}{0}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{75}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccc}5&5& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{BlueViolet}{5}&\color{BlueViolet}{5}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&5&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 3

How many $$$75$$$'s are in $$$550$$$?

The answer is $$$7$$$.

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

Now, $$$550-75 \cdot 7 = 550 - 525= 25$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccc}0&0&\color{DarkBlue}{7}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{75}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccc}5&5&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&5&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{DarkBlue}{5}&\color{DarkBlue}{5}&\color{DarkBlue}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}5&2&5&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&2&5&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 4

How many $$$75$$$'s are in $$$250$$$?

The answer is $$$3$$$.

Write down $$$3$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$250-75 \cdot 3 = 250 - 225= 25$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccc}0&0&7&\color{SaddleBrown}{3}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{75}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccc}5&5&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&5&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&5&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}5&2&5&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&\color{SaddleBrown}{2}&\color{SaddleBrown}{5}&\color{SaddleBrown}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&2&2&5&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&2&5&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 5

How many $$$75$$$'s are in $$$250$$$?

The answer is $$$3$$$.

Write down $$$3$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$250-75 \cdot 3 = 250 - 225= 25$$$.

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: $$$\frac{5500}{75}=73.33 \overline{3}$$$

Answer: $$$\frac{5500}{75}=73.33\overline{3}$$$
