the prime factorisation of the denominator 120 is 2x3x2x2x5
which 2^2x3x5
it is of the form 2^m x 5^n ( since 3 can be divided from both numerator and denominator).
so the fraction is will be 44/40
multiplying 5 on numerator and denominator, the denominator will be 5^2 x 2^2 = 100
hence it will terminate after 2 places
