To convert the fraction \(\frac{2}{16}\) into a decimal, follow these steps:

1. Simplify the fraction \(\frac{2}{16}\) by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 2:
   
   \[
   \frac{2}{16} = \frac{2 \div 2}{16 \div 2} = \frac{1}{8}
   \]

2. Now, convert \(\frac{1}{8}\) into a decimal by performing the division \(1 \div 8\).

   \[
   1 \div 8 = 0.125
   \]

Since \(0.125\) does not have a repeating part, it does not require bar notation. Therefore, the decimal representation of \(\frac{2}{16}\) is:

\[
0.125
\]
