<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: the numerator (number on the top) here, which represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole. A decimal is a way to represent a number that is not whole, using a (.) or a decimal to separate the whole part from the fractional part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and those to the right represent the fractional part.</p>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Identify the<a>numerator and denominator</a>of the fractional part, where the numerator (4) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (7) will be taken as the divisor.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Since 4 is smaller than 7, it can't be divided directly; here, we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, making it 40, and add a decimal point in the quotient place.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 40, we can divide it by 7. Let's see how many times 7 fits into 40.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 40, we can divide it by 7. Let's see how many times 7 fits into 40.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>40 is not a multiple of 7, so we will look for the nearest number that is 7 × 5 = 35. We write 5 in the quotient place and subtract 35 from 40 to get 5.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>40 is not a multiple of 7, so we will look for the nearest number that is 7 × 5 = 35. We write 5 in the quotient place and subtract 35 from 40 to get 5.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0 in the dividend place, making it 50, and then repeat the division process. The division process continues with recurring results, and we do not get a remainder of 0. This process is called a recurring decimal. Finally, add the whole number 3 to the decimal obtained from 4/7.</p>
