Question 1.
Without using division, can we tell from the denominator of a fraction, whether the decimal form of the fraction will be a terminating decimal? Find out. (Textbook pg. no. 40)
Solution:
If the prime factorization of the denominator of a fraction has only factors as 2 or 5 or a combination of 2 and 5 then the decimal form of that fractional will be a terminating decimal form.
Consider the fractions $$\frac { 17 }{ 20 }$$ and $$\frac { 19 }{ 6 }$$
Now, 20 = 2 x 2 x 5, and 6 = 2 x 3
∴ $$\frac { 17 }{ 20 }$$ is terminating decimal form while $$\frac { 19 }{ 6 }$$ is recurring decimal form.
