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 $$$\frac{3800}{50}$$$ into a decimal.
Write the problem in the special format:
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccc}\phantom{7}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\50&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccc}3&8&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 1
How many $$$50$$$'s are in $$$3$$$? The answer is $$$0$$$.
Write down the calculated result in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$3-0 \cdot 50 = 3 - 0= 3$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}\color{OrangeRed}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{50}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}\color{OrangeRed}{3}& 8 \downarrow&0&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}3&8&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 2
How many $$$50$$$'s are in $$$38$$$? The answer is $$$0$$$.
Write down the calculated result in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$38-0 \cdot 50 = 38 - 0= 38$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&\color{GoldenRod}{0}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{50}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}3&8& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{GoldenRod}{3}&\color{GoldenRod}{8}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}3&8&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 3
How many $$$50$$$'s are in $$$380$$$? The answer is $$$7$$$.
Write down the calculated result in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$380-7 \cdot 50 = 380 - 350= 30$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&0&\color{Peru}{7}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{50}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}3&8&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}3&8&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Peru}{3}&\color{Peru}{8}&\color{Peru}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}3&5&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&3&0&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 4
How many $$$50$$$'s are in $$$300$$$? The answer is $$$6$$$.
Write down the calculated result in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$300-6 \cdot 50 = 300 - 300= 0$$$.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&0&7&\color{DarkCyan}{6}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{50}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}3&8&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}3&8&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}3&8&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}3&5&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&\color{DarkCyan}{3}&\color{DarkCyan}{0}&\color{DarkCyan}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&3&0&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&0&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Step 5
How many $$$50$$$'s are in $$$0$$$? The answer is $$$0$$$.
Write down the calculated result in the upper part of the table.
Now, $$$0-0 \cdot 50 = 0 - 0= 0$$$.
$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&0&7&6&.&\color{BlueViolet}{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{50}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}3&8&0&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}3&8&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}3&8&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}3&5&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&3&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&3&0&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&\color{BlueViolet}{0}&\phantom{.}&\color{BlueViolet}{0}\\&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&&\phantom{.}&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
Since the remainder is $$$0$$$, then we are done.
Therefore, $$$\frac{3800}{50}=76.0$$$
Answer: $$$\frac{3800}{50}=76.0$$$
