For which value of (q) will (\frac{5}{q}) have a non-terminating recurring decimal expansion?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (12)
Step 1: (12=2^2\times3). Step 2: (\frac{5}{12}) is in lowest form and the denominator contains (3), so its decimal is recurring. Step 3: Check both reduction and extra prime factors.
