Q2 of 54 Page 12

Without performing division, state whether the following rational numbers will have a terminating decimal form or non-terminating, repeating decimal form.


⇒ 11 and 12 are co-prime.


Now, We have to write the denominator 12 in the form of 2n5m where, n and m are the non-negative numbers.



12 = 2×2×3


12 = 22×3


∴ denominator is not of the form 2n5m where, n = 2 and m = 0


Thus, is Non-terminating and repeating decimal
