You get a denominator of the form (2^a)*(5^b) where a and b are non-negative integers.
Just divide the denominator by the numerator.
Finding a place value in a terminating decimal is easy. When placing the decimal always remember to place it at the tenth.
To change a fraction into a decimal, divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number).
Simply take the fraction, and do the long division (numerator) divided by (denominator).The quotient is the decimal way to write the fraction.
If the decimal is say .5489 Then write 5489 as the numerator and write the denominator as 1 (for the decimal point) followed by as many digits you have after the decimal point. So in this case the fraction would be 5489/10000
If the decimal is terminating or repeating then it can be written as a fraction. Decimal representations which are non-terminating and non-repeating cannot be expressed as a fraction.
a power of 10
Divide the denominator into the numerator.
Just divide the denominator by the numerator.
A fraction which, in its simplest form, has a denominator which contains a prime factor other than 2 or 5 will be a non-terminating decimal. However, you cannot actually write such a fraction because you would never get to the end.

You can write a fraction that is a mixed number as a decimal by diving the numerator by the denominator then rounding it to the nearest thousand.
just have the fraction be negative(do this by putting the negative symbol on the denominator, numerator or before the fraction).

To convert such a decimal as a fraction:* For the numerator, copy the number as is, but omit the decimal point. * For the denominator, write a "1", followed by as many zeros as the original number has decimal digits, i.e., the digits after the point.
