the decimal expansion of 13 /1250 terminate after
Answers
This is given that the prime factorization of the denominator is of the form 2 m × 5 n . Hence, it has terminating decimal expansion which terminates after 4 places of decimal. Hence, the correct choice is (d).

SOLUTION
TO DETERMINE
After how many decimal places the below rational number will terminate
CONCEPT TO BE IMPLEMENTED
A fraction is said to be terminating if prime factorisation of the denominator contains only prime factors 2 and 5
If the denominator is of the form
Then the fraction terminates after N decimal places
Where N = max { m , n }
EVALUATION
Here the given rational number is
Numerator = 13
Denominator = 1250 = 2 × 5⁴
Since the prime factorisation of the denominator contains only prime factors as 2 and 5
So the given rational number is terminating
The exponent of 2 = 1
The exponent of 5 = 4
Max{ 1 , 4 } = 4
Hence the given rational number terminates after 4 decimal places
