Because 4 is a factor of a power of 10: 4 divides into 100.
Terminating decimal
3/4 = 0.75 a terminating decimal
No, a rational number, expressed as decimal, is either a terminating decimal, such as 1/4 = 0.25, or a repeating decimal, such as 1/7 = 0.142857 142857 142857 ...
Terminating
A terminating decimal is a rational number. A non-terminating, repeating decimal is a rational number. A non-terminating, non-repeating decimal is an irrational number.
.625 is a terminating decimal. A decimal is considered terminating if it has a finite number of digits after the decimal point. In the case of .625, there are only three digits after the decimal point, making it a terminating decimal.
Divide 4 by 9. The answer is 0.44444 and the 4's will keep going forever. That's a repeating decimal. It doesn't have to be just one number. 17 divided by 27 is 0.629629629 and the 629's repeat forever. A terminating decimal stops. 3 divided by 8 = 0.375
An irrational number is a number that has no definite end and a terminating number is a number that has a definite end. So this means that a decimal that is terminating cannot be irrational.
A terminating decimal is a decimal that ends like 3.5 or 7.819. A non terminating or Repeating decimal is a decimal that does not end. Instead is goes on forever like 1/3 which is .3 repeating. Pi is another exaple of a non terminating decimal.
If it stops there as 0.7 then it is a terminating decimal number
A terminating decimal is a number that stops dividing after a number of decimal points and is therefore a rational number.For instance, 1/2 = 0.5. (so 0.5 is a rational number because it can be written as a fraction).Terminating number or better known as terminating decimal has an end. It has to stop after the decimal point.Examples:1/2 = 0.51/4 = 0.25
Yes, 20 is a terminating decimal because it can be expressed as 20.0, which has a finite number of digits after the decimal point. A terminating decimal has a decimal representation that ends after a certain number of digits, and since 20 can be written with zeroes following the decimal, it qualifies as a terminating decimal.
