About this tool
The division calculator gives much more than a rounded answer. It shows the exact decimal, marking repeating digits in brackets (so 100 ÷ 7 = 14.(285714)), the result as a simplified fraction, the whole-number quotient and remainder for integer division, and the answer rounded to as many decimal places as you choose.
How to use Division Calculator
- Enter the number to divide (the dividend).
- Enter the number to divide by (the divisor).
- Choose how many decimal places to round to, and read the exact decimal, fraction and remainder.
Worked example
100 ÷ 7 = 14.2857142857 rounded to 10 places. The exact decimal is 14.(285714), the fraction is 100/7 and the integer division is 14 remainder 2.
What do the brackets in the exact decimal mean?
Digits in brackets repeat forever. 1 ÷ 3 = 0.(3) means 0.333… with the 3 repeating endlessly.
Why can't I divide by zero?
Division by zero is undefined: no number multiplied by 0 gives a non-zero result, so there is no valid answer.
What is a remainder?
When dividing whole numbers, the remainder is what is left over. 100 ÷ 7 is 14 with 2 left over, because 7 × 14 = 98.
