Question

how can i know that any rational number that cannot be represented as terminating decimals?

Answer 1

when you divide a number,if certain digit gets repeated again n again,then its repeating decimal,which can not be terminated...like 1/3 = 0.333333333333333333
and 3 keeps on repeating
it can not be terminated
got it?

Answer 2

so -4/25 is terminating or not

Answer 3

-4/25=-0.16

Answer 4

it isnt
at 6 it ends,you dont need to divide it anymore because the remainder is 0
when you dont get remainder 0 then its non terminating

Answer 5

3/7=0.428571428 so what can we say about it

Answer 6

still non terminating,as 428571 is getting repeated again?

Answer 7

so if we are getting 0.636363 then its non terminating?

Answer 8

yes
if u r nt getting remainder 0
then its non terminating certain series of numbers or just a numner gets repeated

Answer 9

number*
