Fraction to Decimal Calculator

Your input: convert $$$\frac{1700}{8}$$$ into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccc}\phantom{2}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\8&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccc}1&7&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 1

How many $$$8$$$'s are in $$$1$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$1-8 \cdot 0 = 1 - 0= 1$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}\color{Chartreuse}{0}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{8}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}\color{Chartreuse}{1}& 7 \downarrow&0&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&7&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 2

How many $$$8$$$'s are in $$$17$$$?

The answer is $$$2$$$.

Write down $$$2$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$17-8 \cdot 2 = 17 - 16= 1$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&\color{Crimson}{2}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{8}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}1&7& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Crimson}{1}&\color{Crimson}{7}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}1&6&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&1&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 3

How many $$$8$$$'s are in $$$10$$$?

The answer is $$$1$$$.

Write down $$$1$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$10-8 \cdot 1 = 10 - 8= 2$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&2&\color{GoldenRod}{1}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{8}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}1&7&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&7&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}1&6&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&\color{GoldenRod}{1}&\color{GoldenRod}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&8&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&2&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 4

How many $$$8$$$'s are in $$$20$$$?

The answer is $$$2$$$.

Write down $$$2$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$20-8 \cdot 2 = 20 - 16= 4$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&2&1&\color{Purple}{2}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{8}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}1&7&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&7&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}1&6&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&1&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&8&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&\color{Purple}{2}&\color{Purple}{0}&\phantom{.}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&1&6&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&4&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 5

How many $$$8$$$'s are in $$$40$$$?

The answer is $$$5$$$.

Write down $$$5$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$40-8 \cdot 5 = 40 - 40= 0$$$.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&2&1&2&.&\color{DarkBlue}{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{8}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}1&7&0&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&7&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}1&6&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&1&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&8&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&2&0&\phantom{.}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&1&6&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&\color{DarkBlue}{4}&\phantom{.}&\color{DarkBlue}{0}\\&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&4&\phantom{.}&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Since the remainder is $$$0$$$, then we are done.

Therefore, $$$\frac{1700}{8}=212.5$$$

Answer: $$$\frac{1700}{8}=212.5$$$
