It must be of the form 2a*5b where a and b are non-negative integers. That is to say, it must be a number whose only factors are 2 or 5.
Terminating decimals are decimals that end, such as, 2.384. Non-terminating decimals that don't end, such as, 0.3333333333.......
A rational number is any number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction p/q of two integers, p and q, with the denominator q not equal to zero. Terminating or repeating decimals are the result of this.
For terminating decimals, yes - the place value of the digit farthest to the right (furthest after the decimal point) is the denominator. Don't forget to simplify the fraction (if possible).
there are 3 types of decimals. Terminating Non Terminating and Reoccuring
A terminating decimal means a decimal with a definite end. For example 1/2 = .50. 3/4 = .75 3/8 = .375 The decimals that don't end or called non-terminating decimals.
Decimals that have a finite number of digits are known as terminating decimals. These numbers can be expressed as fractions where the denominator is a power of 10. For example, 0.75 and 0.5 are terminating decimals, as they can be written as 75/100 and 5/10, respectively. In contrast, non-terminating decimals, such as 0.333..., do not have a finite number of digits.
If a fraction is a rational number then if the denominator goes into the numerator or into the numerator multiplied by a power of 10, then you will have a terminating decimal. Otherwise it will be a repeating decimal.
Terminating decimals are decimals that end, such as, 2.384. Non-terminating decimals that don't end, such as, 0.3333333333.......
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.
The only prime factors are 2 and 5.
No. Rational numbers are either terminating decimals or non-terminating BUT recurrent decimals.
terminating decimals repeating decimals
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.

A rational number is any number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction p/q of two integers, p and q, with the denominator q not equal to zero. Terminating or repeating decimals are the result of this.
Decimals can be recurring. Decimals can be terminating. They can't be both.
They are called terminating decimals.
