Use long division to convert 316 to a decimal.
To convert 316 to a decimal using long division, divide 316 by 100, as there are two places after the decimal point:
```
3.16
----
100) 316
-300
----
16
```
The resulting decimal is 3.16.
To convert 316 to a decimal using long division, you can follow the below steps:
1. Divide the numerator (316) by the denominator (1) to get the quotient.
Quotient = 316 รท 1 = 316
2. Since the denominator is 1, the quotient is the same as the given number (316).
Therefore, 316 as a decimal is simply 316.
To convert a whole number into a decimal using long division, you can follow these steps:
1. Write down the number you want to convert (316) as the dividend.
2. Choose a divisor. In this case, we want to convert to a decimal, so we will use 1 as the initial divisor.
3. Divide the first digit of the dividend (3) by the divisor (1). Write the quotient above the line.
3
______
1 | 316
Quotient: 3
4. Multiply the quotient by the divisor (1) and write the product below the dividend.
3
______
1 | 316
- 3
...
...
5. Subtract the product from the first part of the dividend. Write the resulting value below the line.
3
______
1 | 316
- 3
16
6. Bring down the next digit from the dividend (6) next to the remainder.
3
______
1 | 316
- 3
16
6
7. Divide the new number (16) by the divisor (1).
3
______
1 | 316
- 3
16
---
16
Quotient: 16
8. Multiply the new quotient (16) by the divisor (1) and write the product below the dividend.
3
______
1 | 316
- 3
16
---
16
16
9. Subtract the product from the second part of the dividend. Write the resulting value below the line.
3
______
1 | 316
- 3
16

10. Since we have reached a remainder of 0, we can stop the division. The decimal representation of 316 is 316.0.
Therefore, the decimal representation of 316 is 316.0.
