<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, 101 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 500. A decimal is a way to represent a number that is not whole, using a (.) or a decimal point 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 (101) will be taken as the<a>dividend</a>, and the denominator (500) will be taken as the<a>divisor</a>.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Since 101 is smaller than 500, it can't be divided directly, so we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend by considering it as 101.0 and add a decimal point in the<a>quotient</a>place.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now we consider 1010, which we can divide by 500.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>500 goes into 1010 twice (500 × 2 = 1000). We will write 2 in the quotient place and subtract 1000 from 1010, giving us 10.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>500 goes into 1010 twice (500 × 2 = 1000). We will write 2 in the quotient place and subtract 1000 from 1010, giving us 10.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0 to make it 100. Repeat the division process. Since 500 cannot go into 100, we add a 0 in the quotient.</p>

<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Bring down another 0 to make it 1000. 500 goes into 1000 twice (500 × 2 = 1000), and we subtract 1000 from 1000 to get a remainder of 0. The division process ends here as the remainder is 0, making it a terminating decimal.</p>
