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 480025 into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccc}\phantom{1}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\25&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccc}4&8&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}

Step 1

How many 25's are in 4? The answer is 0.

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

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

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}\color{OrangeRed}{0}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{25}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}\color{OrangeRed}{4}& 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}4&8&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}

Step 2

How many 25's are in 48? The answer is 1.

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

Now, 48-1 \cdot 25 = 48 - 25= 23.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&\color{GoldenRod}{1}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{25}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}4&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}{4}&\color{GoldenRod}{8}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}2&5&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&3&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}

Step 3

How many 25's are in 230? The answer is 9.

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

Now, 230-9 \cdot 25 = 230 - 225= 5.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&1&\color{Brown}{9}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{25}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}4&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}4&8&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}2&5&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Brown}{2}&\color{Brown}{3}&\color{Brown}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}2&2&5&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&5&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}

Step 4

How many 25's are in 50? The answer is 2.

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

Now, 50-2 \cdot 25 = 50 - 50= 0.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&1&9&\color{Chartreuse}{2}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{25}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}4&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}4&8&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}2&5&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&3&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}2&2&5&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&\color{Chartreuse}{5}&\color{Chartreuse}{0}&\phantom{.}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&5&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&9&2&.&\color{DarkBlue}{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{25}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}4&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}4&8&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}2&5&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&3&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}2&2&5&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&5&0&\phantom{.}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&5&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&\color{DarkBlue}{0}&\phantom{.}&\color{DarkBlue}{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{4800}{25}=192.0

Answer: \frac{4800}{25}=192.0
