Fraction to Decimal Calculator

Your input: convert $\frac{8000}{150}$ into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccc}\phantom{5}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}\end{array}&\\150&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccc}8&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$

Step 1

How many $150$'s are in $8$? The answer is $0$.

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

Now, $8-0 \cdot 150 = 8 - 0= 8$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}\color{Chartreuse}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{150}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}\color{Chartreuse}{8}& 0 \downarrow&0&0&.&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}8&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$

Step 2

How many $150$'s are in $80$? The answer is $0$.

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

Now, $80-0 \cdot 150 = 80 - 0= 80$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&\color{Green}{0}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{150}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}8&0& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Green}{8}&\color{Green}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}8&0&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$

Step 3

How many $150$'s are in $800$? The answer is $5$.

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

Now, $800-5 \cdot 150 = 800 - 750= 50$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&0&\color{DarkMagenta}{5}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{150}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}8&0&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}8&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{DarkMagenta}{8}&\color{DarkMagenta}{0}&\color{DarkMagenta}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}7&5&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&5&0&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$

Step 4

How many $150$'s are in $500$? The answer is $3$.

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

Now, $500-3 \cdot 150 = 500 - 450= 50$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&0&5&\color{OrangeRed}{3}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{150}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}8&0&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}8&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}8&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}7&5&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&\color{OrangeRed}{5}&\color{OrangeRed}{0}&\color{OrangeRed}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&4&5&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&5&0&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$

Step 5

How many $150$'s are in $500$? The answer is $3$.

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

Now, $500-3 \cdot 150 = 500 - 450= 50$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&0&5&3&.&\color{Chocolate}{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{150}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}8&0&0&0&.&0& 0 \downarrow&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}8&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}8&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}7&5&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&5&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&4&5&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&\color{Chocolate}{5}&\color{Chocolate}{0}&\phantom{.}&\color{Chocolate}{0}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&4&5&\phantom{.}&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&5&\phantom{.}&0&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$

Step 6

How many $150$'s are in $500$? The answer is $3$.

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

Now, $500-3 \cdot 150 = 500 - 450= 50$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&0&5&3&.&3&\color{Blue}{3}&\phantom{3}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{150}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}8&0&0&0&.&0&0& 0 \downarrow\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}8&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}8&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}7&5&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&5&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&4&5&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&5&0&\phantom{.}&0\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&4&5&\phantom{.}&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&\color{Blue}{5}&\phantom{.}&\color{Blue}{0}&\color{Blue}{0}\\&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&4&\phantom{.}&5&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&5&0&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$

Step 7

How many $150$'s are in $500$? The answer is $3$.

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

Now, $500-3 \cdot 150 = 500 - 450= 50$.

$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&0&5&3&.&3&3&\color{BlueViolet}{3}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{150}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}8&0&0&0&.&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}8&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}8&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}7&5&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&5&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&4&5&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&5&0&\phantom{.}&0\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&4&5&\phantom{.}&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&5&\phantom{.}&0&0\\&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&4&\phantom{.}&5&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&\color{BlueViolet}{5}&\color{BlueViolet}{0}&\color{BlueViolet}{0}\\&&&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&&&4&5&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&&5&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$

As can be seen, the digits are repeating with some period, therefore it is a repeating (or recurring) decimal: $\frac{8000}{150}=53.3 \overline{3}$

Answer: $\frac{8000}{150}=53.3\overline{3}$
