<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: the numerator (number on the top) here, 1, represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole; here it is 250. 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 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>To get 1/250 in decimal, we will use the<a>division</a>method. Here as 1 is smaller than 250, we will take the help<a>of</a>the decimal method, which will give us 0.004. 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 (250) will be taken as the<a>divisor</a>.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>As 1 is smaller than 250, it can't be divided; here, we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, which will make 1 as 10 and add a decimal point in the quotient place.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>As 1 is smaller than 250, it can't be divided; here, we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, which will make 1 as 10 and add a decimal point in the quotient place.</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>10 is also smaller than 250, so we add another 0, making it 100.</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>10 is also smaller than 250, so we add another 0, making it 100.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>100 is still smaller than 250, so we add another 0, making it 1000.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>100 is still smaller than 250, so we add another 0, making it 1000.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Now, 1000 can be divided by 250. Let's see how many times 250 makes up 1000.</p>

<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>250 x 4 = 1000, so we write 4 in the quotient place.</p>

<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>250 x 4 = 1000, so we write 4 in the quotient place.</p>

<p><strong>Step 7:</strong>Subtracting 1000 from 1000 gives 0, and there is no remainder.</p>
