<p>It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part of a whole. It has two parts, the numerator (number on the top) here, 2 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 15. 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 get 2/15 in decimal, we will use the<a>division</a>method. Here as 2 is smaller than 15 we will take help of decimal method which will give us 0.1333. 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 (2) will be taken as the<a>dividend</a>and the denominator (15) will be taken as the<a>divisor</a>.</p>

10
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>As 2 is smaller than 15 it can't be divided., here we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, which will make 2 as 20 and add a decimal point in the<a>quotient</a>place.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 20 we can divide it by 15. Let's see how many times 15 fits into 20.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 20 we can divide it by 15. Let's see how many times 15 fits into 20.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>20 is not a multiple of 15, so we will look for the nearest number that is 15 × 1 = 15. We will write 1 in the quotient place and subtract 15 from 20, which gives 5.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>20 is not a multiple of 15, so we will look for the nearest number that is 15 × 1 = 15. We will write 1 in the quotient place and subtract 15 from 20, which gives 5.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5</strong>: Bring down another 0 in the dividend place to make 5 as 50 and then repeat the division process.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5</strong>: Bring down another 0 in the dividend place to make 5 as 50 and then repeat the division process.</p>
14
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>15 fits into 50 three times, so we write 3 in the quotient place. Subtract 45 (15 × 3) from 50 to get 5.</p>

<p><strong>Step 7:</strong>The division process continues, and we don't get the remainder as 0. This process is called a recurring decimal.</p>
