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 360025 into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccc}\phantom{1}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\25&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccc}3&6&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}

Step 1

How many 25's are in 3? The answer is 0.

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

Now, 3-0 \cdot 25 = 3 - 0= 3.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}\color{Purple}{0}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{25}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}\color{Purple}{3}& 6 \downarrow&0&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}3&6&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}

Step 2

How many 25's are in 36? The answer is 1.

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

Now, 36-1 \cdot 25 = 36 - 25= 11.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&\color{DarkBlue}{1}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{25}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}3&6& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{DarkBlue}{3}&\color{DarkBlue}{6}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}2&5&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&1&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}

Step 3

How many 25's are in 110? The answer is 4.

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

Now, 110-4 \cdot 25 = 110 - 100= 10.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&1&\color{BlueViolet}{4}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{25}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}3&6&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}3&6&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}2&5&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{BlueViolet}{1}&\color{BlueViolet}{1}&\color{BlueViolet}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}1&0&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&1&0&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}

Step 4

How many 25's are in 100? The answer is 4.

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

Now, 100-4 \cdot 25 = 100 - 100= 0.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&1&4&\color{OrangeRed}{4}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{25}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}3&6&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}3&6&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}2&5&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&1&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}1&0&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&\color{OrangeRed}{1}&\color{OrangeRed}{0}&\color{OrangeRed}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&1&0&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&0&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}

Step 5

How many 25's are in 0? The answer is 0.

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

Now, 0-0 \cdot 25 = 0 - 0= 0.

\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&1&4&4&.&\color{GoldenRod}{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{25}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}3&6&0&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}3&6&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}2&5&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&1&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}1&0&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&1&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&1&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{3600}{25}=144.0

Answer: \frac{3600}{25}=144.0
