                  Example 3


           Convert      1   into decimal.
                      100

            Steps                                                            Solution
            1. Divide the numerator by the denominator:  ÷1 100,                   0.01

                it is not sufficient. Write 0 above the digit 1 in the       100 1
                answer position, then put a decimal point.
                                   =
            2. Multiply:  × 0 10 0. Write 0 below 1 then subtract:               − 0
                1 − =0 1.                                                          10
            3. Write a zero in front of the 1 to make it 10, then                 −  0

                divide:  0 ÷1  100 , it is not sufficient. Write 0 to the          100
                right of the decimal point in the answer position,              − 100
                then write 0 in front of 10 to make it 100.                          0

            4. Divide 100 by 100 to get 1. Write 1 in the answer
                position to get 0.01.
            5. Multiply:  ×  1      =100 100.Write 100 below 100 then
                subtract:100    –100 0..
                                       =
                            1
            Therefore,          = 0.01.
                          100
