MCQ
Which of the following has terminating decimal expansion ?
  • A
    $\frac{32}{91}$
  • $\frac{19}{80}$
  • C
    $\frac{23}{45}$
  • D
    $\frac{25}{42}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\frac{19}{80}$
A number is a terminating decimal, if the denominator is of the form $2^m \times 5^n,$
where $m$ and $n$ are non $-$ negative integers.
$\frac{32}{91}=\frac{32}{7\times13}$
$\frac{19}{80}=\frac{19}{2^4\times5}$
$\frac{23}{45}=\frac{23}{3^2\times5}$
$\frac{25}{42}=\frac{25}{2\times3\times7}$
Clearly, option $(b)$ is a terminating decimal, since its denominator is of the form $2^m \times 5^n$​​​​​​​
