<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 7, represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 8. 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>To get 7/8 in decimal, we will use the<a>division</a>method. Here 7 is smaller than 8, so we will use the decimal method to get 0.875. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process.</p>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Identify the<a>numerator and denominator</a>because the numerator (7) will be taken as the<a>dividend</a>and the denominator (8) will be taken as the<a>divisor</a>.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>As 7 is smaller than 8, it can't be divided. Here we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, which will make 7 into 70 and add a decimal point in the<a>quotient</a>place.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 70, we can divide it by 8. Let's see how many times 8 fits into 70.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 70, we can divide it by 8. Let's see how many times 8 fits into 70.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>8 fits into 70 eight times because 8 × 8 = 64. We will write 8 in the quotient place and subtract 64 from 70, which gives 6.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>8 fits into 70 eight times because 8 × 8 = 64. We will write 8 in the quotient place and subtract 64 from 70, which gives 6.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0 in the dividend place to make it 60 and then continue the division process.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0 in the dividend place to make it 60 and then continue the division process.</p>

<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>8 fits into 60 seven times because 8 × 7 = 56. Write 7 in the quotient place and subtract 56 from 60, which gives 4.</p>
14
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>8 fits into 60 seven times because 8 × 7 = 56. Write 7 in the quotient place and subtract 56 from 60, which gives 4.</p>
15
<p><strong>Step 7:</strong>Bring down another 0 to make it 40. 8 fits into 40 five times because 8 × 5 = 40. Write 5 in the quotient place and subtract 40 from 40, giving 0. Since the remainder is 0, the division process stops here.</p>
