Question

Is √ 5 is a terminating digit?

Answer 1

Yes, $\sqrt{5}$ is a terminating decimal. 

And I am saying decimal, because I figured out that's what you really wanted to ask about. There aren't things like terminating digits, there are though - terminating decimals. 

You see, a terminating decimal is such a decimal which has a finitive number of digits coming after the decimal point. For example: 
 
              $0.25$ - 2 digits (2 is finitive)
          $0.7354$ - 4 digits (4 is finitive)
                $0.4$ - 1 digit (1 is finitive)
            $0.996$ - 3 digits (3 is finitive)

What kind of decimals are not terminating decimals then? There are two types of them:
    1. decimals who will have an indefinitely repeating sequence of digits after the decimal point, like $\frac{1}{3}=0.33333333...$ 
    2. irrational numbers, like $\pi=<span>3.141592653...$

Bottom line, if a decimal has a finitive, natural number of digits coming after the decimal point, it is a terminating decimal.

Answer 2

hey mate

here is your answer

√5 is not a terminating decimal as it is an irrational number.(as it cannot be expressed in terms of p/q where p and q are intergers and q≠0)

and we know that the decimal represention of irrational number is non terminating non recurring decimal.
