<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, 8 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 7. 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><strong>Step 1:</strong>Identify the<a>numerator and denominator</a>because the numerator (8) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (7) will be taken as the divisor.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Divide 8 by 7. Since 8 is greater than 7, we divide directly. First, 7 fits in 8 one time, so we write 1 in the quotient place and subtract 7 from 8, leaving a remainder of 1.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Bring down a 0 to the remainder to make it 10 and continue the division.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>7 fits in 10 once, so we write 1 in the quotient and subtract 7 from 10, leaving a remainder of 3.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>7 fits in 10 once, so we write 1 in the quotient and subtract 7 from 10, leaving a remainder of 3.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0 to make 30 and divide by 7. 7 fits in 30 four times (7 × 4 = 28), leaving a remainder of 2.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0 to make 30 and divide by 7. 7 fits in 30 four times (7 × 4 = 28), leaving a remainder of 2.</p>

<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Continue this process, bringing down zeros and dividing, noticing the sequence 142857 repeats. The division process continues, and we don't get the remainder as 0. This process is called a recurring decimal.</p>
