Terminating Decimal
While expressing a fraction in the decimal form when we perform division we notice that the division is complete after a certain number of steps i.e., we get the remainder zero. The quotient obtained as decimal is called the terminating decimal. Such a decimal has a finite number of terms after the decimal point.
Worked-out examples on terminating decimal:
1. Express 17/8 in the decimal form.
Solution:
Since, the remainder is zero.
Therefore, 17/8 is terminating and 2.125 is a terminating decimal.
2. Express 1/4 in the decimal form.
Solution:
= 0.25
Since, the remainder is zero.
Therefore, 1/4 is terminating and 0.25 is a terminating decimal.
3. Express 3/5 in the decimal form.
Solution:
= 1.125
Since, the remainder is zero.
Therefore, 27/24 is terminating and 1.125 is a terminating decimal.
4. Express 3/5 in the decimal form.
Solution:
= 0.6
Since, the remainder is zero.
Therefore, 3/5 is terminating and 0.6 is a terminating decimal.
