Question

Without doing any actual division, find which of the following is a terminating decimal or not:6 over 125

hintHint:

Hint:
Numbers with a fixed or finite number of digits following the decimal point are known as terminating decimals and numbers with infinite decimal places are known as non-terminating decimals.

The correct answer is: Terminating decimal expansion.


    Let x = p/q be a rational number such that the prime factorisation of q is in form 2m5n, where m and n are non-negative integers, then x will have a terminating decimal expansion.
    x equals 6 over 125
    In the given rational number, the value of q is 125. The factorisation of 125 is given as
    Final Answer:
    As the factorisation of 125 is in the form of 2m5n,  6 over 125will have terminating decimal expansion.
