Before we get started in the fraction to decimal conversion, let's go over some very quick fraction basics. Remember that a numerator is the number above the fraction line, and the denominator is the number below the fraction line. We'll use this later in the tutorial.

When we are using mixed fractions, we have a whole number (in this case 10) and a fractional part (174/362).
