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 $$$\frac{7300}{75}$$$ into a decimal.
Write the problem in the special format:
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccc}\phantom{9}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}\end{array}&\\75&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccc}7&3&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 1
How many $$$75$$$'s are in $$$7$$$?
The answer is $$$0$$$.
Write down $$$0$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$7-75 \cdot 0 = 7 - 0= 7$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccc}\color{Brown}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{75}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccc}\color{Brown}{7}& 3 \downarrow&0&0&.&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllll}-&\phantom{3}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}7&3&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 2
How many $$$75$$$'s are in $$$73$$$?
The answer is $$$0$$$.
Write down $$$0$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$73-75 \cdot 0 = 73 - 0= 73$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccc}0&\color{DarkMagenta}{0}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{75}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccc}7&3& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllll}-&\phantom{3}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{DarkMagenta}{7}&\color{DarkMagenta}{3}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{3}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}7&3&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 3
How many $$$75$$$'s are in $$$730$$$?
The answer is $$$9$$$.
Write down $$$9$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$730-75 \cdot 9 = 730 - 675= 55$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccc}0&0&\color{DarkBlue}{9}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{75}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccc}7&3&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllll}-&\phantom{3}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}7&3&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{3}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{DarkBlue}{7}&\color{DarkBlue}{3}&\color{DarkBlue}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{3}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}6&7&5&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&5&5&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 4
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.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccc}0&0&9&\color{Purple}{7}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{75}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccc}7&3&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllll}-&\phantom{3}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}7&3&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{3}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}7&3&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{3}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}6&7&5&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&\color{Purple}{5}&\color{Purple}{5}&\color{Purple}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{3}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&5&2&5&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&2&5&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
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: $$$\frac{7300}{75}=97.33 \overline{3}$$$
Answer: $$$\frac{7300}{75}=97.33\overline{3}$$$
