When investigating the prime factors of 2 10 50 and 250 when would fractions terminate or when would they be recurring?

How fractions are related to repeating decimals and terminating decimals?
Fractions are related to repeating decimals in the sense that a fraction can be represented as a repeating decimal if the denominator has prime factors other than 2 or 5. For example, 1/3 can be represented as 0.3333..., with the 3s repeating infinitely. Terminating decimals, on the other hand, are fractions that have denominators which are powers of 10. For example, 1/4 can be represented as 0.25, which terminates after two decimal places.
How can a number be equivalent fractions when they have no common factors?
You may have answered your own question. Equivalent fractions have common factors. If they don't have common factors, they aren't equivalent.
What are the factors for 3 5ths?
Factors refer to whole numbers, not fractions.
What are the factors of one fifth?
Factors refer to whole numbers, not fractions.
What are all the factors of 7 in fractions?
the factors of 7 are 1 and 7
What are the factors that equalo1 third?
Factors refer to whole numbers, not fractions.
What are two fractions of twenty-one which add to make ten?
I think that you meant factors, not fractions. If you meant factors, then it would be 7 and 3. If you did mean fractions, then it would be 0/21 and 210/21.
What are the prime factors of the denominators that terminate?
The only possible prime factors are 2 and 5. But the denominator can, of course, be 1.
What kinds of decimals will fractions turn into?
Rational numbers will become either a terminating decimal (if the denominator has prime factors of 2 and/or 5 only) or a decimal that recurs one or more digits (possibly after one or more digits that do not recur). Examples: 1/2 = 0.5 (terminates) 1/3 = 0.333.... (3 recurs) 1/6 = 0.1666.... (6 recurs after the initial non-recurring 1) 1/7 = 0.142857142857142857.... (142857 recurs)
What are the factors of 2.8 and 10?
The concept of factors loses its meaning when you allow fractions (including decimal fractions).For example, 5 can be considered a factor of 2.8 since 5*0.56 = 2.8The concept of factors loses its meaning when you allow fractions (including decimal fractions).For example, 5 can be considered a factor of 2.8 since 5*0.56 = 2.8The concept of factors loses its meaning when you allow fractions (including decimal fractions).For example, 5 can be considered a factor of 2.8 since 5*0.56 = 2.8The concept of factors loses its meaning when you allow fractions (including decimal fractions).For example, 5 can be considered a factor of 2.8 since 5*0.56 = 2.8
What are the fractions to 25?
It's likely that you mean "factors." The factors of 25 are 1, 5 and 25. If you really meant fractions, please resubmit your question.
How are fractions and factors related?
They're both numbers.
