<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, numerator (number on the top) here, 14 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 a number that is not whole, using a (.) or a decimal point 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><strong>Step 2:</strong>Since 14 is smaller than 15, it can't be divided evenly. We will use decimals to proceed. Add a decimal point in the quotient and a 0 to the dividend, making it 140.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0 to the dividend, making it 50, and repeat the division process. 15 fits into 50 three times, as 15 × 3 = 45.</p>
