without actually performing long division state whether 29/255 will have a terminating or non-terminating repeating decimal expansion​

Answer»

Answer:

It will have a non terminating decimal EXPANSION

Step-by-step explanation:

For this, you FIRST need to prime factorise the denominator.

If the denominator is of this FORM,

{5}^{m} \times {2}^{n}

Then, it is terminating, or ELSE it is non terminating repeating.

For this question, the decimal expansion of 255 is 5×3×17

Hence it is non terminating repeating
