Has the rational number a terminating or a non terminating decimal representation?

Let x = p/q be a rational number, such that the prime factorization of q is not of the form 2n 5m, where n, m are non-negative integers. Then x has a decimal expansion which is non-terminating repeating (recurring).


The denominator is not of the form 2n 5m and also it has 72 as its factor.


Thus, it satisfies the above condition.


The give rational number has a non-terminating decimal representation.
