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.


⇒ 2 and 5 are co-prime.


Now, we have to write the denominator 5 in the form of 2n5m where, n and m are the non-negative numbers.


20 5


∴ denominator is in the form 2n5m where, n = 0 and m = 1


Thus, is Terminating decimal.
