<p>It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part from the whole. It has two parts: numerator (number on the top) here, 8 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 7. 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 that to the right represents the fractional part.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>As 1 is smaller than 7, it can't be divided. Here we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, which will make 1 as 10 and add a decimal point in the quotient place.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 10, we can divide it by 7. Let's see how many times 7 fits into 10.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>10 divided by 7 gives 1 with a remainder of 3. We bring down another 0, making it 30.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>30 divided by 7 gives 4 with a remainder of 2. We bring down another 0, making it 20.</p>
14
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>20 divided by 7 gives 2 with a remainder of 6. We bring down another 0, making it 60.</p>

<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>20 divided by 7 gives 2 with a remainder of 6. We bring down another 0, making it 60.</p>

<p><strong>Step 7:</strong>60 divided by 7 gives 8 with a remainder of 4. We bring down another 0, making it 40.</p>

<p><strong>Step 7:</strong>60 divided by 7 gives 8 with a remainder of 4. We bring down another 0, making it 40.</p>

<p><strong>Step 8:</strong>40 divided by 7 gives 5 with a remainder of 5. We bring down another 0, making it 50.</p>
17
<p><strong>Step 9:</strong>50 divided by 7 gives 7 with a remainder of 1. We bring down another 0, making it 10, and repeat the process. This process shows that 1/7 is a recurring decimal 0.142857….. Adding 1 to it gives us the decimal 1.142857…..</p>
