Without actual division, find the decimal expansion of 147 /120 that will terminate afterdecimals and the result is _____Please answer as fast as possible

Answer»

Answer:

The DECIMAL expansion of 147 120 will terminate after how many places of decimals

Step-by-step explanation:

If the denominator CONTAINS even one prime factor that doesn't divide 10, the decimal expansion will be unable to reach a point where the remainder is ZERO. In this case, the denominator's prime factorization (after reducing) has three FACTORS of 2 and one of 5, so we KNOW that its decimal expansion will terminate.

Hope it helps!
