Answer 2

Given:

A fraction 1/500.

To find:

The decimal form of 1/500.

Solution:

To answer this, first of all, we should know that a fraction is said to be terminating in its decimal form if its denominator contains a number that has factors of 2, 5 or both only.

So,

As given, we have,

$\frac{1}{500}$

as we can see, the denominator of a given fraction i.e. 500 can be written as 5 × 100.

So, it is a fraction that is terminating in decimal form.

Now, we multiply 2 in both numerator and denominator of the given fraction.

We get,

$\frac{2}{5 \times 2 \times 100}$

$= \frac{2}{1000}$

As there are three zeros in the denominator, so we put the decimal before 3 places of the numerator. So, we have

$\frac{2}{1000} = 0.002$

Hence, after dividing 1/500, we get 0.002.
