How can you predict whether a quotient will be terminating decimal or a repeating decimal?
If the denominator of the fraction, when written in its simplest form, has any prime factor other than 2 or 5 then it will be a repeating decimal fraction otherwise it will terminate.
Is 1.33333 terminating decimal?
No, 1.33333 is not a terminating decimal. A terminating decimal is a decimal number that ends, or terminates, such as 0.75. In the case of 1.33333, the digit 3 repeats indefinitely, indicating that it is a repeating decimal rather than a terminating one.
Is a repeating decimal greater than a decimal?
A repeating decimal is a decimal number in which a digit or a sequence of digits repeats infinitely. Whether a repeating decimal is greater than a non-repeating decimal depends on the specific values of the decimals in question. In some cases, a repeating decimal can be greater than a non-repeating decimal, while in other cases, it can be less than. Comparing the magnitudes of repeating and non-repeating decimals requires careful analysis of their patterns and values.
