$\frac{37}{50}$ is exactly $0.74$.

Long Division

\[\begin{align*} & \phantom) \phantom{0}0.74 \\ 50 \; & \overline{\smash)37.\phantom{00}} \\ & \phantom) \mathllap{-} \underline{ 0}\textcolor{#008364}{\mathrlap{\downarrow}} \\ & \phantom) 37\textcolor{#008364}{0} \\ & \phantom) \mathllap{-} \underline{ 350}\textcolor{#008364}{\mathrlap{\downarrow}} \\ & \phantom) 20\textcolor{#008364}{0} \\ & \phantom) \mathllap{-} \underline{ 200} \\ & \phantom) \phantom{00} 0 \end{align*}\]

Steps

  1. 50 fits into 37 $0$ times. Carry a zero to produce 370.

  2. 50 fits into 370 $7$ times, producing 350. Subtract from 370 to get remainder 20. Carry a zero to produce 200.

  3. 50 fits into 200 $4$ times, producing 200. Subtract from 200 to get remainder 0.


    4. The remainder is 0, so the final answer is an exact decimal number.
