<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: the numerator (number on the top) here, 2 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 3. 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>To get 586 2/3 in decimal, we will use the<a>division</a>method for the fractional part. Here as 2 is smaller than 3, we will take help<a>of</a>the decimal method which will give us 0.6666. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:</p>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Identify the<a>numerator and denominator</a>because numerator (2) will be taken as<a>dividend</a>and denominator (3) will be taken as<a>divisor</a>.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>As 2 is smaller than 3, it can't be divided. Here we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, which will make 2 as 20 and add a decimal point in the quotient place.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 20, we can divide it by 3. Let's see how many times 3 makes 20.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 20, we can divide it by 3. Let's see how many times 3 makes 20.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>20 is not a multiple of 3, so we will look for the nearest number that is 3 × 6 = 18. We will write 6 in the quotient place and subtract 18 from 20, which gives 2.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>20 is not a multiple of 3, so we will look for the nearest number that is 3 × 6 = 18. We will write 6 in the quotient place and subtract 18 from 20, which gives 2.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0 in the dividend place and make 2 as 20, and then repeat the division process. The division process continues, and we don't get the remainder as 0. This process is called a recurring decimal.</p>
