If (\frac{p}{q}) is in lowest form, (q) divides (10^6) but does not divide (10^5), what is certain about the decimal expansion?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Terminates exactly after (6) places
Since (q) divides (10^6), it has only (2) and (5), but not dividing (10^5) means the larger exponent is (6). Therefore the decimal terminates exactly after (6) places.
