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 6200100 into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccc}\phantom{6}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\100&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccc}6&2&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}

Step 1

How many 100's are in 6? The answer is 0.

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

Now, 6-0 \cdot 100 = 6 - 0= 6.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}\color{BlueViolet}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{100}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}\color{BlueViolet}{6}& 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}6&2&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}

Step 2

How many 100's are in 62? The answer is 0.

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

Now, 62-0 \cdot 100 = 62 - 0= 62.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&\color{Purple}{0}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{100}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}6&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{Purple}{6}&\color{Purple}{2}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}6&2&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}

Step 3

How many 100's are in 620? The answer is 6.

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

Now, 620-6 \cdot 100 = 620 - 600= 20.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&0&\color{Chartreuse}{6}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{100}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}6&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}6&2&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Chartreuse}{6}&\color{Chartreuse}{2}&\color{Chartreuse}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}6&0&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&2&0&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}

Step 4

How many 100's are in 200? The answer is 2.

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

Now, 200-2 \cdot 100 = 200 - 200= 0.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&0&6&\color{Violet}{2}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{100}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}6&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}6&2&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}6&2&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}6&0&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&\color{Violet}{2}&\color{Violet}{0}&\color{Violet}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&2&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&6&2&.&\color{GoldenRod}{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{100}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}6&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}6&2&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}6&2&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}6&0&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&2&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{2}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&2&0&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&\color{GoldenRod}{0}&\phantom{.}&\color{GoldenRod}{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{6200}{100}=62.0

Answer: \frac{6200}{100}=62.0
