Solution

Your input: convert $$$\frac{200}{24}$$$ into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccc}\phantom{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}\end{array}&\\24&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccc}2&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 1

How many $$$24$$$'s are in $$$2$$$? The answer is $$$0$$$.

Write down the calculated result in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$2-0 \cdot 24 = 2 - 0= 2$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccc}\color{Crimson}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{24}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccc}\color{Crimson}{2}& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 2

How many $$$24$$$'s are in $$$20$$$? The answer is $$$0$$$.

Write down the calculated result in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$20-0 \cdot 24 = 20 - 0= 20$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccc}0&\color{DarkBlue}{0}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{24}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccc}2&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{DarkBlue}{2}&\color{DarkBlue}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&0&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 3

How many $$$24$$$'s are in $$$200$$$? The answer is $$$8$$$.

Write down the calculated result in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$200-8 \cdot 24 = 200 - 192= 8$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccc}0&0&\color{Red}{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{24}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccc}2&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Red}{2}&\color{Red}{0}&\color{Red}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&9&2&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&8&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 4

How many $$$24$$$'s are in $$$80$$$? The answer is $$$3$$$.

Write down the calculated result in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$80-3 \cdot 24 = 80 - 72= 8$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccc}0&0&8&.&\color{Brown}{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{24}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccc}2&0&0&.&0& 0 \downarrow&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&9&2&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&\color{Brown}{8}&\phantom{.}&\color{Brown}{0}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&7&\phantom{.}&2\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&8&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 5

How many $$$24$$$'s are in $$$80$$$? The answer is $$$3$$$.

Write down the calculated result in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$80-3 \cdot 24 = 80 - 72= 8$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccc}0&0&8&.&3&\color{Chocolate}{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{24}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccc}2&0&0&.&0&0& 0 \downarrow&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&9&2&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&8&\phantom{.}&0\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&7&\phantom{.}&2\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&\color{Chocolate}{8}&\color{Chocolate}{0}\\&&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&&7&2\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&8&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
