If a fraction (\frac{p}{q}) in lowest form has a non-terminating recurring decimal, what is correct about (q)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (q) will have a prime factor other than (2) and (5)

Step 1: A non-terminating recurring decimal occurs when the reduced denominator has a prime factor other than (2) and (5). Step 2: Such a denominator cannot be made into a power of (10). Step 3: So always check the prime factors of the denominator.
