7. Write down the decimal expansion of the following rational numbers by writing theirdenominators in the form 2" x 5m, where n, m are non-negative integers.[Basic/STANDARD]1. 179/125 2. 251/5000 |
Answer»
Denominator = 125 = 2^0 × 5^3
Denominator = 2^3 × 5^4 Explanation: The denominator can be WRITTEN in form of 2^n × 5^m by prime factorisation. N.B.:-
For example, in 251/5000, 5000 = 2^3 × 5^4. So, min(3, 4) = 3. So, after three decimal places, it will terminate.
