Your input: convert $$$\frac{900}{8}$$$ into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccc}\phantom{1}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\8&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccc}9&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 1

How many $$$8$$$'s are in $$$9$$$?

The answer is $$$1$$$.

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

Now, $$$9-8 \cdot 1 = 9 - 8= 1$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccc}\color{Red}{1}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{8}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccc}\color{Red}{9}& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}8&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 2

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.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccc}1&\color{Chartreuse}{1}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{8}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccc}9&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}8&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Chartreuse}{1}&\color{Chartreuse}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&8&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&2&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 3

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.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccc}1&1&\color{Violet}{2}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{8}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccc}9&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}8&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&8&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&\color{Violet}{2}&\color{Violet}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&1&6&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&4&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 4

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

The answer is $$$5$$$.

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

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

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccc}1&1&2&.&\color{Peru}{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{8}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccc}9&0&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}8&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&8&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&2&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&1&6&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&\color{Peru}{4}&\phantom{.}&\color{Peru}{0}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&4&\phantom{.}&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

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

Therefore, $$$\frac{900}{8}=112.5$$$

Answer: $$$\frac{900}{8}=112.5$$$
