Answer:
The powers of q should be 2 or 5 or a multiple of them.
Step-by-step explanation:
p/q is a rational number which q not equal to 0.
If the decimal representation of p/q is terminating.
The only condition on q is that:
The value of q should be 2 or 5 or the multiple of them.
The value of q should have the powers of only 2 or/and 5.
If the condition is satisfied, then only p/q has terminating decimal representation.
