What can you say about the prime factorizations of the denominators of the following rational?
(i) 43.123456789
(ii) ![]()
(iii) ![]()
(iv) 0.120120012000120000…
(i) 43.123456789 =
= ![]()
Since Prime factorization of the denominator is in the form
, where m, n are non-negative integers.
(ii) Since
has non-terminating repeating decimal expression, therefore Prime factorization of the denominator contains factors other than 2 or 5.
(iii) Since
has non-terminating repeating decimal expression, therefore Prime factorization of the denominator contains factors other than 2 or 5.
(iv) Since
has non-terminating repeating decimal expression, therefore Prime factorization of the denominator contains factors other than 2 or 5.
