<p>Converting fractions to decimals is a fundamental skill. A fraction represents a part of a whole, consisting of a numerator (the top number) and a denominator (the bottom number). In 1/8, the numerator is 1, indicating one part of the whole, and the denominator is 8, indicating the whole is divided into 8 equal parts. A decimal represents a non-whole number, using 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 2:</strong>Divide 1 by 8. Since 1 is smaller than 8, we use decimals to assist in the division by adding a decimal point and zero to the dividend.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Divide 10 by 8. It goes 1 time. Write 1 in the<a>quotient</a>and subtract 8 from 10, which gives a<a>remainder</a>of 2.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Bring down another 0 to make it 20. Divide 20 by 8, which goes 2 times, and subtract 16 (8*2) from 20 to get a remainder of 4.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Bring down another 0 to make it 20. Divide 20 by 8, which goes 2 times, and subtract 16 (8*2) from 20 to get a remainder of 4.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0 to make it 40. Divide 40 by 8, which goes 5 times, with no remainder. The division process ends here because we reach a remainder of 0.</p>
