<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, 23 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 60. 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><strong>Step 2:</strong>As 23 is smaller than 60, it can't be divided. Here, we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, making 23 as 230 and add a decimal point in the quotient place.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 230, we can divide it by 60. Let's see how many times 60 goes into 230.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 230, we can divide it by 60. Let's see how many times 60 goes into 230.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>60 goes into 230 about 3 times since 60 × 3 = 180.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>60 goes into 230 about 3 times since 60 × 3 = 180.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Subtract 180 from 230 gives 50. Bring down another 0 in the dividend place, making it 500.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Subtract 180 from 230 gives 50. Bring down another 0 in the dividend place, making it 500.</p>
14
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>60 goes into 500 about 8 times since 60 × 8 = 480. Subtract 480 from 500 gives 20.</p>

<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>60 goes into 500 about 8 times since 60 × 8 = 480. Subtract 480 from 500 gives 20.</p>
