After how many decimal places will the decimal expansion of (\frac{1}{640}) terminate?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (7)
Step 1: (640=64\cdot 10=2^6\cdot 2\cdot 5=2^7\cdot 5). Step 2: The larger exponent is (7), so the decimal terminates after (7) places. Step 3: Convert the denominator directly into powers of (2) and (5).
