How do you predict whether a fraction is terminating or repeating?
A fraction in its simplest form is terminating if its denominator has no prime factors other than 2 or 5. If the denominator includes any prime factors other than 2 or 5, the fraction will be repeating. To determine this, you can factor the denominator after reducing the fraction to its simplest form. If the only remaining factors are 2 and/or 5, the decimal representation will terminate; otherwise, it will repeat.
Is the fraction 13 equivalent to a terminating decimal or a decimal that does not terminate?
1/3 does not terminate.
How can you tell if a decimal will be repeating or terminating by looking at a fraction?
In general, you cannot.If the fraction is in its simplest form and the denominator has any prime factor other than 2 or 5 then it is a repeating decimal; otherwise it will terminate. However, most people will not know simply by looking whether 21474836480 has any factors other than 2 and 5.
Must any rational number terminate?
Not always because any number that can be expressed as a fraction is a rational number as for example 0.666...recurring can be expressed as 2/3 as a fraction
Do all fractions with an even denominator terminate?
No. For example, the fraction 1/14 goes on forever when written as a decimal. (.0714285714285714285714285714285...)
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.
What can you predict whether a quotient will be a terminating decimal or 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 the fraction 1-3 equivalent to a terminating decimal or a decimal that doesn't terminate?
The fraction 1/3 does not terminate.

Is the fraction 13 equivalent to a terminating decimal or a decimal that does not terminate?
1/3 does not terminate.
How can you predict whether a fraction will give a recurring or terminating decimal?
Reduce the fraction to its simplest form - that is, remove any common factors between the numerator and denominator. If the denominator now is a factor of some power of 10, that is, if the denominator is of the form 2a*5b then the fraction will me a terminating decimal. If not, it will not.
What is a fraction that terminates 43 14 72 or 1311?
1/4 and 7/2 terminate.

Is there a way to tell if a decimal is terminating or repeating?
Think of the division problem as a fraction. Simplify the fraction to its simplest form. For example, simplify 7/14 to 1/2. If the only factors of the denominator are 1, 2, and 5, then it will terminate. If the denominator has any other factors, it will repeat. For example, n/16 will always terminate for any integer n. But n/15 will never terminate for any non-zero integer n if the fraction is in its simplest form. Another method is to do the division. If you are dividing a/b (where a and b are both integers), then if it is going to terminate, it will terminate within b-1 decimal places. In other words, the repeating portion will never be longer than b-1 digits.
