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 440050 into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccc}\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\50&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccc}4&4&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}

Step 1

How many 50's are in 4? The answer is 0.

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

Now, 4-0 \cdot 50 = 4 - 0= 4.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}\color{Red}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{50}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}\color{Red}{4}& 4 \downarrow&0&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&4&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}

Step 2

How many 50's are in 44? The answer is 0.

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

Now, 44-0 \cdot 50 = 44 - 0= 44.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&\color{DarkBlue}{0}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{50}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}4&4& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{DarkBlue}{4}&\color{DarkBlue}{4}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&4&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}

Step 3

How many 50's are in 440? The answer is 8.

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

Now, 440-8 \cdot 50 = 440 - 400= 40.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&0&\color{Chocolate}{8}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{50}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}4&4&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&4&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Chocolate}{4}&\color{Chocolate}{4}&\color{Chocolate}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}4&0&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&4&0&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}

Step 4

How many 50's are in 400? The answer is 8.

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

Now, 400-8 \cdot 50 = 400 - 400= 0.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&0&8&\color{Brown}{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{50}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}4&4&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&4&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&4&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}4&0&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&\color{Brown}{4}&\color{Brown}{0}&\color{Brown}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&4&0&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&0&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}

Step 5

How many 50's are in 0? The answer is 0.

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

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

\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccc}0&0&8&8&.&\color{DarkCyan}{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{50}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccc}4&4&0&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&4&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&4&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}4&0&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&4&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{4}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&4&0&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{4400}{50}=88.0

Answer: \frac{4400}{50}=88.0
