Withoust actually performing the long division state whether the 15/50 will have a terminating decimal expansion or non terminating repating decimal expansion

Answer»

Answer:

1) convert the fraction in its lowest term

2) do prime factorization of the denominator

3) if the factors are other than 2 or 5, then it would be a non terminating DECIMAL

Lowest term of 15/50= 3/10

Prime factorization of 10= 2×5

As the factors are only 2 or 5, it is a terminating decimal.
