<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 1, which represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 500. 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 convert 1/500 into a decimal, we will use the<a>division</a>method. Here, as 1 is smaller than 500, we will use the decimal method, which will give us 0.002. 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 (1) will be taken as the<a>dividend</a>and the denominator (500) will be taken as the<a>divisor</a>.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Since 1 is smaller than 500, it can't be divided directly. Here we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, which will make 1 as 1000, and add a decimal point in the<a>quotient</a>place.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 1000, we can divide it by 500. Let's see how many times 500 fits into 1000.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 1000, we can divide it by 500. Let's see how many times 500 fits into 1000.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>500 goes into 1000 exactly 2 times, so we write 2 in the quotient place and subtract 1000 from 1000, which gives 0.</p>
