Which fraction has a terminating decimal even though the given denominator contains (31)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (\frac{62}{2^4\cdot 5^3\cdot 31})
Since (62=2\cdot 31), the factor (31) cancels and the reduced denominator is (2^3\cdot 5^3). If an extra prime appears, check cancellation first.
