if 278/2^3m has a terminating decimal expansion and m is a positive integer such that 2<m<9.Then find the value of m , pls answer fast
wvaish:
For a fraction to be terminating,it should either have only 2 or only 5 or both 2and 5 as the prime factors of the denominator. But here even 3is also present in the denominator. So it cannot be a terminating decimal.
