<p>It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part from the whole. It has two parts, numerator (number on the top) here, 51 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 2. 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 that to the right represents the fractional part.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>To handle the remainder, we add a decimal point and a zero to make it 10.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>10 divided by 2 gives 5. The division process ends here as we get a remainder of 0.</p>
