Fraction to Decimal Calculator

Your input: convert $\frac{500}{7}$ into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccc}\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}\end{array}&\\7&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccc}5&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$

Step 1

How many $7$'s are in $5$? The answer is $0$.

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

Now, $5-0 \cdot 7 = 5 - 0= 5$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccc}\color{GoldenRod}{0}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{7}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccc}\color{GoldenRod}{5}& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllllllllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$

Step 2

How many $7$'s are in $50$? The answer is $7$.

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

Now, $50-7 \cdot 7 = 50 - 49= 1$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccc}0&\color{SaddleBrown}{7}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{7}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccc}5&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllllllllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{SaddleBrown}{5}&\color{SaddleBrown}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}4&9&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&1&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$

Step 3

How many $7$'s are in $10$? The answer is $1$.

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

Now, $10-1 \cdot 7 = 10 - 7= 3$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccc}0&7&\color{Purple}{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{7}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccc}5&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllllllllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}4&9&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&\color{Purple}{1}&\color{Purple}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&7&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&3&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$

Step 4

How many $7$'s are in $30$? The answer is $4$.

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

Now, $30-4 \cdot 7 = 30 - 28= 2$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

Now, $20-2 \cdot 7 = 20 - 14= 6$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccc}0&7&1&.&4&\color{Chocolate}{2}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{2}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{5}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{7}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccc}5&0&0&.&0&0& 0 \downarrow&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllllllllllll}-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}4&9&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&1&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&7&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&3&\phantom{.}&0\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&2&\phantom{.}&8\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&\color{Chocolate}{2}&\color{Chocolate}{0}\\&&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&&1&4\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&6&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$

Step 6

How many $7$'s are in $60$? The answer is $8$.

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

Now, $60-8 \cdot 7 = 60 - 56= 4$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

Step 12

How many $7$'s are in $60$? The answer is $8$.

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

Now, $60-8 \cdot 7 = 60 - 56= 4$.

Step 14

How many $7$'s are in $50$? The answer is $7$.

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

Now, $50-7 \cdot 7 = 50 - 49= 1$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

Step 15

How many $7$'s are in $10$? The answer is $1$.

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

Now, $10-1 \cdot 7 = 10 - 7= 3$.
