2/8 can be reduced to 1/4, which you should know to be .25 in decimal form.
Because the decimal "terminates" after the hundredths place, it is a terminating decimal.
An example of a repeating decimal would be 1/3.
This would come out to be .333333... (etc.)
Most calculators will display something like 2/3 as .6666667 placing the 7 on their last available digit displayer as a means of rounding the repeating decimal.
A non-terminating decimal is a decimal that does not terminate, and goes on forever, and a repeating decimal is a number that continues on forever with a repeated pattern
Square root of 2...
If the denominator of the fraction has any prime factor other than 2 or 5, then it has a decimal representation with a repeating sequence of digits. If the denominator is a product of any number of 2s or 5s then it can be represented as a terminating decimal.
13/22 cannot be expressed as a terminating decimal because the divisor has a factor other that 2 or 5.
certainly not Not necessarily. 1/3 = 0.333... 1/6 = 0.166... 1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2 = 0.5, a terminating decimal.
It has a terminating decimal.
Neither; it is a non-repeating, non-terminating decimal - it is an irrational value.
0.667 is a terminating decimal.
A negative fraction need not be a terminating decimal. For example, -2/3 = -0.66... (repeating).
It is repeating. Any fraction in simplest terms which has ANY prime factor other than 2 or 5 in its denominator will be a repeating fraction.
If you convert them into decimal form you can say there are terminating decimals, there are the integers, and there are repeating decimals. EX: 2.4 is a terminating decimal. 2.44444444... is a repeating decimal. 2 is an integer. all are rational numbers.
A non-terminating decimal is a decimal that does not terminate, and goes on forever, and a repeating decimal is a number that continues on forever with a repeated pattern
If a fraction, in its simplest form has a denominator whose only prime factors are 2 or 5, then the fraction is terminating. If the denominator has any other prime factor then the decimal is repeating.
Square root of 2...
2 over 11 written as a repeating decimal = 0.18181818...
If the denominator of the fraction has any prime factor other than 2 or 5, then it has a decimal representation with a repeating sequence of digits. If the denominator is a product of any number of 2s or 5s then it can be represented as a terminating 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.
