<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, 57 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 8. 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>Divide 57 by 8. 8 goes into 57 seven times since 8 × 7 = 56. Write 7 in the quotient place.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Subtract 56 from 57 which gives a remainder of 1.</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Subtract 56 from 57 which gives a remainder of 1.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Bring down a 0 to make it 10. Divide 10 by 8, which goes 1 time since 8 × 1 = 8. Write 1 in the quotient place after the decimal point.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Bring down a 0 to make it 10. Divide 10 by 8, which goes 1 time since 8 × 1 = 8. Write 1 in the quotient place after the decimal point.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Subtract 8 from 10, which gives a remainder of 2. Bring down another 0 to make it 20. Divide 20 by 8, which goes 2 times since 8 × 2 = 16. Write 2 in the quotient place.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Subtract 8 from 10, which gives a remainder of 2. Bring down another 0 to make it 20. Divide 20 by 8, which goes 2 times since 8 × 2 = 16. Write 2 in the quotient place.</p>
14
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Subtract 16 from 20, which gives a remainder of 4. Bring down another 0 to make it 40. Divide 40 by 8, which goes 5 times since 8 × 5 = 40. Write 5 in the quotient place. The division process ends as the remainder is 0.</p>

<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Subtract 16 from 20, which gives a remainder of 4. Bring down another 0 to make it 40. Divide 40 by 8, which goes 5 times since 8 × 5 = 40. Write 5 in the quotient place. The division process ends as the remainder is 0.</p>
