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 $$$\frac{6500}{75}$$$ into a decimal.
Write the problem in the special format:
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccc}\phantom{8}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}\end{array}&\\75&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccc}6&5&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 1
How many $$$75$$$'s are in $$$6$$$?
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.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccc}\color{Chartreuse}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{75}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccc}\color{Chartreuse}{6}& 5 \downarrow&0&0&.&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}6&5&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 2
How many $$$75$$$'s are in $$$65$$$?
The answer is $$$0$$$.
Write down $$$0$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$65-75 \cdot 0 = 65 - 0= 65$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccc}0&\color{Crimson}{0}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{75}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccc}6&5& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Crimson}{6}&\color{Crimson}{5}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}6&5&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 3
How many $$$75$$$'s are in $$$650$$$?
The answer is $$$8$$$.
Write down $$$8$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$650-75 \cdot 8 = 650 - 600= 50$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccc}0&0&\color{GoldenRod}{8}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{75}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccc}6&5&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}6&5&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{GoldenRod}{6}&\color{GoldenRod}{5}&\color{GoldenRod}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}6&0&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&5&0&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 4
How many $$$75$$$'s are in $$$500$$$?
The answer is $$$6$$$.
Write down $$$6$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$500-75 \cdot 6 = 500 - 450= 50$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

Step 5
How many $$$75$$$'s are in $$$500$$$?
The answer is $$$6$$$.
Write down $$$6$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$500-75 \cdot 6 = 500 - 450= 50$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccc}0&0&8&6&.&6&6&6&\color{Fuchsia}{6}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{75}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccc}6&5&0&0&.&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}6&5&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}6&5&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}6&0&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&5&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&4&5&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&5&0&\phantom{.}&0\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&4&5&\phantom{.}&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&5&\phantom{.}&0&0\\&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&4&\phantom{.}&5&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&5&0&0\\&&&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&&&4&5&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&&\color{Fuchsia}{5}&\color{Fuchsia}{0}&\color{Fuchsia}{0}\\&&&&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&&&&4&5&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&&&5&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
As can be seen, the digits are repeating with some period, therefore it is a repeating (or recurring) decimal: $$$\frac{6500}{75}=86.66 \overline{6}$$$
Answer: $$$\frac{6500}{75}=86.66\overline{6}$$$
