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 16800200 into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccc}\phantom{8}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\200&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccc}1&6&8&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}

Step 1

How many 200's are in 1? The answer is 0.

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

Now, 1-0 \cdot 200 = 1 - 0= 1.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}\color{Chartreuse}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{200}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}\color{Chartreuse}{1}& 6 \downarrow&8&0&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&6&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}

Step 2

How many 200's are in 16? The answer is 0.

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

Now, 16-0 \cdot 200 = 16 - 0= 16.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}0&\color{Brown}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{200}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}1&6& 8 \downarrow&0&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Brown}{1}&\color{Brown}{6}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&6&8&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}

Step 3

How many 200's are in 168? The answer is 0.

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

Now, 168-0 \cdot 200 = 168 - 0= 168.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}0&0&\color{Fuchsia}{0}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{200}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}1&6&8& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&6&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Fuchsia}{1}&\color{Fuchsia}{6}&\color{Fuchsia}{8}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&6&8&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}

Step 4

How many 200's are in 1680? The answer is 8.

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

Now, 1680-8 \cdot 200 = 1680 - 1600= 80.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}0&0&0&\color{SaddleBrown}{8}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{200}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}1&6&8&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&6&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&6&8&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{SaddleBrown}{1}&\color{SaddleBrown}{6}&\color{SaddleBrown}{8}&\color{SaddleBrown}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}1&6&0&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&8&0&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}

Step 5

How many 200's are in 800? The answer is 4.

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

Now, 800-4 \cdot 200 = 800 - 800= 0.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}0&0&0&8&\color{Violet}{4}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{200}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}1&6&8&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&6&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&6&8&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&6&8&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}1&6&0&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&\color{Violet}{8}&\color{Violet}{0}&\color{Violet}{0}&\phantom{.}\\&-&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&8&0&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&0&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}

Step 6

How many 200's are in 0? The answer is 0.

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

Now, 0-0 \cdot 200 = 0 - 0= 0.

\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccc}0&0&0&8&4&.&\color{DarkBlue}{0}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{200}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccc}1&6&8&0&0&.&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllll}-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&6&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&6&8&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}&&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&6&8&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{6}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}\\\phantom{lll}1&6&0&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&8&0&0&\phantom{.}\\&-&\phantom{8}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&8&0&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{16800}{200}=84.0

Answer: \frac{16800}{200}=84.0
