<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 (the number on the top), here, 5 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (the number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 17. 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 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><strong>Step 1:</strong>Identify the<a>numerator and denominator</a>because the numerator (5) will be taken as the<a>dividend</a>and the denominator (17) will be taken as the<a>divisor</a>.</p>

10
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>As 5 is smaller than 17, it can't be divided directly, so we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, which will make 5 into 50, and add a decimal point in the<a>quotient</a>place.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 50, we can divide it by 17. Let's see how many times 17 goes into 50.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 50, we can divide it by 17. Let's see how many times 17 goes into 50.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>50 is not a multiple of 17, so we will look for the nearest number that is 17 × 2 = 34. We will write 2 in the quotient place and subtract 34 from 50, which gives 16.</p>

13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0 in the dividend place to make it 160, and then repeat the division process. The division process continues, and we don't get the remainder as 0, indicating a non-terminating decimal.</p>
