<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: the numerator (number on the top) here, 43 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole; here it is 8. A decimal is a way to represent a 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><strong>Step 1:</strong>Identify the<a>numerator and denominator</a>because the numerator (43) will be taken as the<a>dividend</a>and the denominator (8) will be taken as the<a>divisor</a>.</p>
10
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Divide 43 by 8. 8 goes into 43 five times because 8 × 5 = 40.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Divide 43 by 8. 8 goes into 43 five times because 8 × 5 = 40.</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Subtract 40 from 43, which gives us a<a>remainder</a>of 3.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Subtract 40 from 43, which gives us a<a>remainder</a>of 3.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Bring down a 0 to make it 30. Divide 30 by 8, which goes 3 times because 8 × 3 = 24.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Bring down a 0 to make it 30. Divide 30 by 8, which goes 3 times because 8 × 3 = 24.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Subtract 24 from 30, leaving a remainder of 6. Bring down another 0 to make it 60.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Subtract 24 from 30, leaving a remainder of 6. Bring down another 0 to make it 60.</p>
14
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Divide 60 by 8, which goes 7 times because 8 × 7 = 56.</p>
14
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Divide 60 by 8, which goes 7 times because 8 × 7 = 56.</p>
15
<p><strong>Step 7:</strong>Subtract 56 from 60, leaving a remainder of 4. Bring down another 0 to make it 40.</p>
15
<p><strong>Step 7:</strong>Subtract 56 from 60, leaving a remainder of 4. Bring down another 0 to make it 40.</p>
16
<p><strong>Step 8:</strong>Divide 40 by 8, which goes exactly 5 times because 8 × 5 = 40.</p>
16
<p><strong>Step 8:</strong>Divide 40 by 8, which goes exactly 5 times because 8 × 5 = 40.</p>
17
<p><strong>Step 9:</strong>Subtract 40 from 40, leaving a remainder of 0, and the division ends.</p>
