<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 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 4. 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 that to the right represents the fractional part.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Since 1 is smaller than 4, we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the<a>dividend</a>, which will make 1 as 10 and add a decimal point in the quotient place.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Now that it is 10, we can divide it by 4. Let's see how many times 4 goes into 10.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>4 × 2 = 8, so 2 goes in the quotient place. Subtract 8 from 10 to get 2.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>4 × 2 = 8, so 2 goes in the quotient place. Subtract 8 from 10 to get 2.</p>
14
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Bring down another 0 to make it 20. Divide 20 by 4 to get 5.</p>

<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Bring down another 0 to make it 20. Divide 20 by 4 to get 5.</p>
15
<p><strong>Step 7:</strong>4 × 5 = 20, so subtract 20 from 20, which gives 0 as the remainder.</p>
