Fraction to Decimal Calculator

Your input: convert $\frac{5500}{60}$ into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccc}\phantom{9}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}\end{array}&\\60&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccc}5&5&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$

Step 1

How many $60$'s are in $5$? The answer is $0$.

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

Now, $5-0 \cdot 60 = 5 - 0= 5$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}\color{BlueViolet}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{60}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}\color{BlueViolet}{5}& 5 \downarrow&0&0&.&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&5&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$

Step 2

How many $60$'s are in $55$? The answer is $0$.

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

Now, $55-0 \cdot 60 = 55 - 0= 55$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&\color{DarkBlue}{0}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{60}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}5&5& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{DarkBlue}{5}&\color{DarkBlue}{5}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&5&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$

Step 3

How many $60$'s are in $550$? The answer is $9$.

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

Now, $550-9 \cdot 60 = 550 - 540= 10$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&0&\color{Red}{9}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{60}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}5&5&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&5&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Red}{5}&\color{Red}{5}&\color{Red}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}5&4&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&1&0&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$

Step 4

How many $60$'s are in $100$? The answer is $1$.

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

Now, $100-1 \cdot 60 = 100 - 60= 40$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&0&9&\color{DarkCyan}{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{60}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}5&5&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&5&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&5&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}5&4&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&\color{DarkCyan}{1}&\color{DarkCyan}{0}&\color{DarkCyan}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&6&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&4&0&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$

Step 5

How many $60$'s are in $400$? The answer is $6$.

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

Now, $400-6 \cdot 60 = 400 - 360= 40$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&0&9&1&.&\color{Green}{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{60}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}5&5&0&0&.&0& 0 \downarrow&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&5&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&5&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}5&4&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&1&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&6&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&\color{Green}{4}&\color{Green}{0}&\phantom{.}&\color{Green}{0}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&3&6&\phantom{.}&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&4&\phantom{.}&0&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$

Step 6

How many $60$'s are in $400$? The answer is $6$.

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

Now, $400-6 \cdot 60 = 400 - 360= 40$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&0&9&1&.&6&\color{Peru}{6}&\phantom{6}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{60}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}5&5&0&0&.&0&0& 0 \downarrow\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&5&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&5&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}5&4&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&1&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&6&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&4&0&\phantom{.}&0\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&3&6&\phantom{.}&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&\color{Peru}{4}&\phantom{.}&\color{Peru}{0}&\color{Peru}{0}\\&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&3&\phantom{.}&6&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&4&0&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$

Step 7

How many $60$'s are in $400$? The answer is $6$.

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

Now, $400-6 \cdot 60 = 400 - 360= 40$.

$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&0&9&1&.&6&6&\color{Violet}{6}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{60}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}5&5&0&0&.&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&5&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&5&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}5&4&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&1&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&6&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&4&0&\phantom{.}&0\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&3&6&\phantom{.}&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&4&\phantom{.}&0&0\\&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&3&\phantom{.}&6&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&\color{Violet}{4}&\color{Violet}{0}&\color{Violet}{0}\\&&&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&&&3&6&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&&4&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$

As can be seen, the digits are repeating with some period, therefore it is a repeating (or recurring) decimal: $\frac{5500}{60}=91.6 \overline{6}$

Answer: $\frac{5500}{60}=91.6\overline{6}$
