we have to express 2.316 as p/2^n × 5^m for the smallest values of n and m .
2.316 = 2316/1000 = 1158/500
= 1158/500 = 579/250
= 579/(2 × 5 × 5 × 5)
= 579/2¹ × 5³ compare it with p/2^n × 5^m
we get, P = 579 , n = 1 and m = 3
2.316 = 2316/1000 = 1158/500
= 1158/500 = 579/250
= 579/(2 × 5 × 5 × 5)
= 579/2¹ × 5³ compare it with p/2^n × 5^m
we get, P = 579 , n = 1 and m = 3
