If (\frac{7}{q}) has a terminating decimal expansion and is in lowest form, which option is possible for (q)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (80)
Step 1: A reduced denominator must contain only (2) and (5). Step 2: (80=2^4\cdot 5), so it is possible. (48), (84), and (98) contain primes like (3) or (7). Step 3: If lowest form is given, check the prime factors of the denominator directly.
