If (n) is the smallest positive integer for which (\frac{n}{2^2\cdot 3^4\cdot 5\cdot 13}) has a terminating decimal, what is (n)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (1053)
For a terminating decimal, (3^4) and (13) must cancel completely, so (n=3^4\cdot 13=1053). For the least value, cancel only the unwanted prime factors.
