Question

what is the formula used to find rational numbers that have terminating decimal expansion

Answer 1

• Theorem 1: If m be any rational number whose decimal expansion is terminating in nature, then m can be expressed in form of \frac{p}{q}, where p and q are co-primes and the prime factorization of q is of the form 2^x~ 5^y, where x and y are non-negative integers.
