A student says that the decimal expansion of \(\frac{13}{375}\) will terminate because its denominator has 5 as a factor. What is the correct correction to the student's statement?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Since \(375=3\times5^3\), the decimal expansion will be non-terminating recurring.

The fraction \(\frac{13}{375}\) is already in lowest terms, and \(375=3\times5^3\). A fraction in lowest terms has a terminating decimal only if its denominator has no prime factors other than 2 and 5. Since this denominator also has a factor of 3, the decimal expansion is non-terminating recurring.
