<p>It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part of the whole. It has two parts, numerator (number on the top) here, 2 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 17. A decimal is a way to represent the number that is not whole, using a (.) or a decimal to separate the whole part from the fraction part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and those to the right represent the fractional part.</p>

<p>To get 2/17 in decimal, we will use the<a>division</a>method. Here as 2 is smaller than 17, we will use the decimal method which will give us 0.1176470588. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:</p>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Identify the<a>numerator and denominator</a>because the numerator (2) will be taken as the<a>dividend</a>and the denominator (17) will be taken as the<a>divisor</a>.</p>

10
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>As 2 is smaller than 17, it can't be divided., here we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, which will make 2 as 20 and add a decimal point in the<a>quotient</a>place.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 20, we can divide it by 17. Let's see how many times 17 makes 20.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 20, we can divide it by 17. Let's see how many times 17 makes 20.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>20 is not a<a>multiple</a>of 17, so we will look for the nearest number that is 17 × 1 = 17. We will write 1 in the quotient place and subtract 17 from 20, which gives 3.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>20 is not a<a>multiple</a>of 17, so we will look for the nearest number that is 17 × 1 = 17. We will write 1 in the quotient place and subtract 17 from 20, which gives 3.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0 in the dividend place to make it 30 and then repeat the division process. The division process continues, and we don't get a remainder as 0. This process creates a non-terminating decimal.</p>
