<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, 51, represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 100. 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 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 51/100 in decimal, we will use<a>division</a>method. Here, as 51 is smaller than 100, we will take help<a>of</a>decimal method which will give us 0.51. Let's see the step by step breakdown of the process:</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>As 51 is smaller than 100, it can't be divided directly, so we will use decimal places. We will add a decimal point and a zero to the dividend, making it 510.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now divide 510 by 100. 100 goes into 510 five times, which gives us 500.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Subtract 500 from 510, leaving a remainder of 10.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Subtract 500 from 510, leaving a remainder of 10.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another zero, making it 100, which divides evenly by 100 for 1. The division process ends here.</p>
