check weather 25/8 is a terminating decimal
Answers
Answer:
Terminating
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Find the denominator of 25/8 in its lowest form.
The greatest common factor (GCF) of 25 and 8 is 1. Convert 25/8 to its simplest form by dividing the numerator and denominator by its GCF:
25 ÷ 1
8 ÷ 1
=
25
8
Thus, the denominator of 25/8 in its lowest form is 8.
2) Find the prime factors of the answer in Step 1.
The prime factors of 8 are all the prime numbers that you multiply together to get 8. The prime factors of 8 are:
2 x 2 x 2
3) Determine if 25/8 is terminating
A fraction is a terminating decimal if the prime factors of the denominator of the fraction in its lowest form only contain 2s and/or 5s or no prime factors at all. This is the case here, which means that our answer is as follows:
25/8
= terminating
