Fraction to Decimal Calculator

Your input: convert $\frac{200}{5}$ into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccc}\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\5&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccc}2&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$

Step 1

How many $5$'s are in $2$? The answer is $0$.

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

Now, $2-0 \cdot 5 = 2 - 0= 2$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccc}\color{Brown}{0}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{5}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccc}\color{Brown}{2}& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$

Step 2

How many $5$'s are in $20$? The answer is $4$.

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

Now, $20-4 \cdot 5 = 20 - 20= 0$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccc}0&\color{Violet}{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{5}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccc}2&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Violet}{2}&\color{Violet}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}2&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&0&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$

Step 3

How many $5$'s are in $0$? The answer is $0$.

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

Now, $0-0 \cdot 5 = 0 - 0= 0$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccc}0&4&\color{Purple}{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{5}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccc}2&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}2&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&\color{Purple}{0}&\color{Purple}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&0&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$

Step 4

How many $5$'s are in $0$? The answer is $0$.

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

Now, $0-0 \cdot 5 = 0 - 0= 0$.

$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccc}0&4&0&.&\color{DarkCyan}{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{5}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccc}2&0&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}2&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}2&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&\color{DarkCyan}{0}&\phantom{.}&\color{DarkCyan}{0}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&\phantom{.}&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$

Since the remainder is $0$, then we are done.

Therefore, $\frac{200}{5}=40.0$

Answer: $\frac{200}{5}=40.0$
