<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 (the number on the top), here 8 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (the number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 45. 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>because numerator (8) will be taken as the<a>dividend</a>and denominator (45) will be taken as the<a>divisor</a>.</p>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Identify the<a>numerator and denominator</a>because numerator (8) will be taken as the<a>dividend</a>and denominator (45) will be taken as the<a>divisor</a>.</p>
10
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>As 8 is smaller than 45, it can't be divided. Here we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, which will make 8 as 80 and add a decimal point in the<a>quotient</a>place.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>As 8 is smaller than 45, it can't be divided. Here we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, which will make 8 as 80 and add a decimal point in the<a>quotient</a>place.</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 80, we can divide it by 45. Let's see how many times 45 makes 80.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 80, we can divide it by 45. Let's see how many times 45 makes 80.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>80 is not a<a>multiple</a>of 45, so we will look for the nearest number. 45 × 1 = 45. We will write 1 in the quotient place and subtract 45 from 80, which gives 35.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>80 is not a<a>multiple</a>of 45, so we will look for the nearest number. 45 × 1 = 45. We will write 1 in the quotient place and subtract 45 from 80, which gives 35.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0 in the dividend place and make 35 as 350, and then repeat the division process. 45 × 7 = 315, and so on. The division process continues, and we don't get the remainder as 0. This process is called a repeating decimal.</p>
