Conversion of Fractions to Decimal Numbers
We will discuss here about the working rule for the conversion of fractions to decimal numbers.
The rules for converting fractions with denominators 10, 100, 1000, etc. into decimal fraction:
(i) Count the number of zeroes coming after 1 in the denominator.
(ii) Count an equal number of places in the numerator starting from the unit digit then place the decimal point to the left of the digit reached.

= 6.007
3. Convert 798/10000 to decimal.
Given, 798/10000
We see in 798/10000 there are four zeroes in the denominator. Therefore, to convert 798/10000 into decimal fraction count four places from the right in the numerator and place the decimal point to the left of the digit.
= 0.0798
4. Convert 1794/10 to decimal.
