<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, 8 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 32. 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>

10
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>As 8 is smaller than 32, it can't be divided directly. We will add a decimal point to the<a>quotient</a>and append 0 to the dividend, making it 80.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now, 80 can be divided by 32. Determine how many times 32 fits into 80.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now, 80 can be divided by 32. Determine how many times 32 fits into 80.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>32 fits into 80 twice, as 32 × 2 = 64. Write 2 in the quotient place and subtract 64 from 80, giving 16.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0 in the dividend place, making it 160, and repeat the division process.</p>
14
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>32 fits into 160 five times exactly, as 32 × 5 = 160, yielding no remainder.</p>
