If LCM(a, b) = 21
We know that, LCM(a, b) × HCF(a, b) = a × b
⇒ 210 × 6 = ab
⇒ ab = 1260
OR
We know that, for a rational number
to have a terminating decimal expansion, q should be of the form = 2a × 5b
Therefore, in a given number
, denominator 2500 can be factorised as,
2500 = 2 × 2 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5
2500 = 22 × 54
As 2500 can be expressed as 22 × 54, it will have a terminating decimal expansion.
