Which fraction will give a non-terminating recurring decimal?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (\frac{49}{2\cdot 5^2\cdot 7^2})
In (\frac{49}{2\cdot 5^2\cdot 7^2}), (49=7^2) cancels completely, so it terminates. For a non-terminating recurring decimal, a factor other than (2) and (5) must remain in the reduced denominator.
