Your input: convert $$$\frac{600}{75}$$$ into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccc}\phantom{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\75&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccc}6&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 1

How many $$$75$$$'s are in $$$6$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

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

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccc}\color{Green}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{75}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccc}\color{Green}{6}& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}6&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 2

How many $$$75$$$'s are in $$$60$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$60-75 \cdot 0 = 60 - 0= 60$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccc}0&\color{Blue}{0}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{75}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccc}6&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Blue}{6}&\color{Blue}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}6&0&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 3

How many $$$75$$$'s are in $$$600$$$?

The answer is $$$8$$$.

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

Now, $$$600-75 \cdot 8 = 600 - 600= 0$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccc}0&0&\color{SaddleBrown}{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{75}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccc}6&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}6&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{SaddleBrown}{6}&\color{SaddleBrown}{0}&\color{SaddleBrown}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}6&0&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&0&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 4

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

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

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

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccc}0&0&8&.&\color{DarkMagenta}{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{75}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccc}6&0&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}6&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}6&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}6&0&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&\color{DarkMagenta}{0}&\phantom{.}&\color{DarkMagenta}{0}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&\phantom{.}&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

As can be seen, the digits are repeating with some period, therefore it is a repeating (or recurring) decimal: $$$\frac{600}{75}=8.0 \overline{}$$$

Answer: $$$\frac{600}{75}=8.0\overline{}$$$
