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.

Enter a fraction or

If you don't need a mixed number, leave the left cell empty.
If you need a negative fraction, write the minus sign in the left cell.

If the calculator did not compute something or you have identified an error, or you have a suggestion/feedback, please contact us.

Solution

Your input: convert 3500100 into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccc}\phantom{3}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\100&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccc}3&5&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}

Step 1

How many 100's are in 3? The answer is 0.

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

Now, 3-0 \cdot 100 = 3 - 0= 3.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}\color{GoldenRod}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{100}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}\color{GoldenRod}{3}& 5 \downarrow&0&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}3&5&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}

Step 2

How many 100's are in 35? The answer is 0.

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

Now, 35-0 \cdot 100 = 35 - 0= 35.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&\color{Crimson}{0}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{100}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}3&5& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Crimson}{3}&\color{Crimson}{5}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}3&5&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}

Step 3

How many 100's are in 350? The answer is 3.

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

Now, 350-3 \cdot 100 = 350 - 300= 50.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&0&\color{BlueViolet}{3}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{100}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}3&5&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}3&5&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{BlueViolet}{3}&\color{BlueViolet}{5}&\color{BlueViolet}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}3&0&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&5&0&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}

Step 4

How many 100's are in 500? The answer is 5.

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

Now, 500-5 \cdot 100 = 500 - 500= 0.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&0&3&\color{DarkMagenta}{5}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{100}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}3&5&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}3&5&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}3&5&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}3&0&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&\color{DarkMagenta}{5}&\color{DarkMagenta}{0}&\color{DarkMagenta}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&5&0&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&0&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}

Step 5

How many 100's are in 0? The answer is 0.

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

Now, 0-0 \cdot 100 = 0 - 0= 0.

\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&0&3&5&.&\color{Brown}{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{100}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}3&5&0&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}3&5&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}3&5&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}3&0&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&5&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&5&0&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{3500}{100}=35.0

Answer: \frac{3500}{100}=35.0
