Question

Without actually performing the long division, find if 229 400 will have terminating or
nonterminating decimal expansion. Give reason for your answer.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The question is 229÷400, than it's terminating.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because it will not go for further cancellation and hence we will get the denominator as 400 whose factors 2^4 * 5^2. So for terminating the denominator factors should be 5 and 2 only. hence it's terminating.
