Convert the following rational numbers in the form of a terminating decimal or non-terminating and repeating decimal, whichever the case may be, by the process of long division: (i) (ii)

Question

KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

(i) Given, Prime factorisation of 50 = 2 × 52. Since the denominator has only 2's and 5's, it has a terminating decimal expansion. By long division : ⇒ Hence, (terminating). (ii) Given, Prime factorisation of 9 = 32. Since the denominator has 3 (a prime other than 2 or 5), it has a non-terminating repeating decimal expansion. By long division : ⇒ . Hence, (non-terminating, repeating).
