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 $$$\frac{2100}{80}$$$ into a decimal.
Write the problem in the special format:
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccc}\phantom{2}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\80&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccc}2&1&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 1
How many $$$80$$$'s are in $$$2$$$?
The answer is $$$0$$$.
Write down $$$0$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$2-80 \cdot 0 = 2 - 0= 2$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}\color{DarkCyan}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{80}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}\color{DarkCyan}{2}& 1 \downarrow&0&0&.&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{1}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&1&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 2
How many $$$80$$$'s are in $$$21$$$?
The answer is $$$0$$$.
Write down $$$0$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$21-80 \cdot 0 = 21 - 0= 21$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}0&\color{Red}{0}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{80}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}2&1& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{1}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Red}{2}&\color{Red}{1}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{1}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&1&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 3
How many $$$80$$$'s are in $$$210$$$?
The answer is $$$2$$$.
Write down $$$2$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$210-80 \cdot 2 = 210 - 160= 50$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}0&0&\color{OrangeRed}{2}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{80}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}2&1&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{1}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&1&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{1}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{OrangeRed}{2}&\color{OrangeRed}{1}&\color{OrangeRed}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{1}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&6&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&5&0&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 4
How many $$$80$$$'s are in $$$500$$$?
The answer is $$$6$$$.
Write down $$$6$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$500-80 \cdot 6 = 500 - 480= 20$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}0&0&2&\color{Crimson}{6}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{80}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}2&1&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{1}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&1&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{1}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&1&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{1}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&6&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&\color{Crimson}{5}&\color{Crimson}{0}&\color{Crimson}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{1}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&4&8&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&2&0&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 5
How many $$$80$$$'s are in $$$200$$$?
The answer is $$$2$$$.
Write down $$$2$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$200-80 \cdot 2 = 200 - 160= 40$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}0&0&2&6&.&\color{Fuchsia}{2}&\phantom{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{80}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}2&1&0&0&.&0& 0 \downarrow\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{1}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&1&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{1}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&1&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{1}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&6&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&5&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{1}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&4&8&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&\color{Fuchsia}{2}&\color{Fuchsia}{0}&\phantom{.}&\color{Fuchsia}{0}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&1&6&\phantom{.}&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&4&\phantom{.}&0&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 6
How many $$$80$$$'s are in $$$400$$$?
The answer is $$$5$$$.
Write down $$$5$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$400-80 \cdot 5 = 400 - 400= 0$$$.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}0&0&2&6&.&2&\color{Chocolate}{5}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{80}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}2&1&0&0&.&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{1}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&1&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{1}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&1&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{1}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&6&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&5&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{1}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&4&8&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&2&0&\phantom{.}&0\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&1&6&\phantom{.}&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&\color{Chocolate}{4}&\phantom{.}&\color{Chocolate}{0}&\color{Chocolate}{0}\\&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&4&\phantom{.}&0&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Since the remainder is $$$0$$$, then we are done.
Therefore, $$$\frac{2100}{80}=26.25$$$
Answer: $$$\frac{2100}{80}=26.25$$$
