<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 14, which represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 5. 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><strong>Step 4:</strong>Bring down a 0 to make it 40. Now divide 40 by 5, which goes 8 times because 5 × 8 = 40.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Bring down a 0 to make it 40. Now divide 40 by 5, which goes 8 times because 5 × 8 = 40.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Write 8 in the quotient place. Subtract 40 from 40, which gives 0. The division process stops here as we get a remainder of 0.</p>
