Step-by-step explanation:

To convert 316 to a decimal using long division, we divide 316 by 10 to get the whole number part and the decimal part. Here's how:

1. Divide 316 by 10. The result is 31 with a remainder of 6.
2. Bring down the next digit of 6 to the right of the remainder. You now have 66.
3. Divide 66 by 10. The result is 6 with a remainder of 6.
4. Bring down the next digit of 6 to the right of the remainder. You now have 66.
5. Divide 66 by 10. The result is 6 with a remainder of 6.
