To convert the integer 5316 into a decimal using long division, we need to divide it by 1000 since 5316 is already expressed in whole numbers.

  1. Understanding the long division: We want to express 5316 as a decimal: \[ 5316 \div 1000 \]

  2. Performing the division:

    • 1000 goes into 5316 five times (since \(5 \times 1000 = 5000\)).
    • We write 5 before the decimal point, as this is the whole number part.
    • Next, we subtract 5000 from 5316, which leaves us with 316.
    • We then continue the division by converting 316 into a decimal.
    • Since we are dividing by 1000, we can express this as: \[ 5.316 \]
    • There are three decimal places in the divisor (1000), so we append three zeros.
  3. Resulting decimal approximation:

    • Thus, \( 5316 \div 1000 = 5.316 \).

From the response options provided:

  • The closest option that represents the full accurate decimal of \( 5.316 \) is 5.36 (if rounding to two decimal places).

So, the correct response is: 5.36
