<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: the numerator (number on the top) here, -4 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 point 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 4 is smaller than 5, it can't be divided directly. Here, we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, which will make 4 as 40, and add a decimal point in the<a>quotient</a>place.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 40, we can divide it by 5. Let's see how many times 5 makes 40.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 40, we can divide it by 5. Let's see how many times 5 makes 40.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>40 is a multiple of 5, and 5 × 8 = 40. We will write 8 in the quotient place, and subtract 40 from 40 gives 0.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>The division process ends as we get the remainder as 0.</p>
