Question

Is -14/15 terminating or not ? Explain

Answer 1

Answer:

Non-terminating

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{ - 14}{15} \\ = \frac{ - 14}{3 \times 5}$

The prime factorisation of the denominator contains 3. Therefore it is a non-terminating repeating decimal.

Note: For terminating decimal, the prime factorisation of the denominator must contain only 5 or 2 or both.
