<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, 9 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole; here, it is 17. 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 2:</strong>As 9 is smaller than 17, it can't be divided. Here, we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, making 9 as 90, and add a decimal point in the<a>quotient</a>place.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 90, we can divide it by 17. Let's see how many times 17 fits into 90.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>17 goes into 90 five times since 17 × 5 = 85.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>17 goes into 90 five times since 17 × 5 = 85.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Subtract 85 from 90, which gives 5. Bring down another 0, making 50, and continue the division process.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Subtract 85 from 90, which gives 5. Bring down another 0, making 50, and continue the division process.</p>
14
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Repeat the division by 17. The process continues as the remainder does not become 0, and the division results in a non-recurring, non-terminating decimal.</p>
