ANSWER
Theorem: Let x=
q
p
be a rational number, such that the prime factorisation of q is of the form 2
n
5
m
, where n, m are non-negative integers. Then, x has a decimal expansion which terminates.
(i)
3125
13
Factorise the denominator, we get
3125=5×5×5×5×5=5
5
So, denominator is in form of 5
m
so,
3125
13
is terminating.
