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 $$$\frac{7200}{80}$$$ into a decimal.
Write the problem in the special format:
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccc}\phantom{9}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\80&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccc}7&2&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 1
How many $$$80$$$'s are in $$$7$$$?
The answer is $$$0$$$.
Write down $$$0$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$7-80 \cdot 0 = 7 - 0= 7$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}\color{Chartreuse}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{80}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}\color{Chartreuse}{7}& 2 \downarrow&0&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}7&2&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 2
How many $$$80$$$'s are in $$$72$$$?
The answer is $$$0$$$.
Write down $$$0$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$72-80 \cdot 0 = 72 - 0= 72$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&\color{Green}{0}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{80}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}7&2& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Green}{7}&\color{Green}{2}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}7&2&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 3
How many $$$80$$$'s are in $$$720$$$?
The answer is $$$9$$$.
Write down $$$9$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$720-80 \cdot 9 = 720 - 720= 0$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&0&\color{Purple}{9}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{80}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}7&2&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}7&2&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Purple}{7}&\color{Purple}{2}&\color{Purple}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}7&2&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&0&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 4
How many $$$80$$$'s are in $$$0$$$?
The answer is $$$0$$$.
Write down $$$0$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$0-80 \cdot 0 = 0 - 0= 0$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&0&9&\color{Violet}{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{80}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}7&2&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}7&2&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}7&2&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}7&2&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&\color{Violet}{0}&\color{Violet}{0}&\phantom{.}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&0&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 5
How many $$$80$$$'s are in $$$0$$$?
The answer is $$$0$$$.
Write down $$$0$$$ in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$0-80 \cdot 0 = 0 - 0= 0$$$.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&0&9&0&.&\color{Brown}{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{80}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}7&2&0&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}7&2&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}7&2&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}7&2&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&0&0&\phantom{.}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&\color{Brown}{0}&\phantom{.}&\color{Brown}{0}\\&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&&\phantom{.}&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Since the remainder is $$$0$$$, then we are done.
Therefore, $$$\frac{7200}{80}=90.0$$$
Answer: $$$\frac{7200}{80}=90.0$$$
