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.

if27823 m has terminating decimal expansion and m is a positive integer .
We know if any fraction have terminating decimal expansion then have denominator in form of
2aƗ5b
So,m = 5 ,
As m lies between 2 and 9 ( 2 < m< 9 ).
