What type of decimal is 41/500?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Terminating decimal

A rational fraction in lowest terms has a terminating decimal expansion when the denominator contains only the prime factors 2 and 5. Here, 41 is prime and does not divide 500, so 41/500 is already reduced. Factorising the denominator gives 500 = 2² × 5³. Thus the criterion is satisfied and the decimal terminates. For a direct calculation, multiply by 2² to obtain 41/500 = 164/2000 = 0.082. Hence option A is correct. Options B and C describe a non-terminating non-repeating decimal, which cannot represent this rational fraction, while option D is impossible because the denominator is not zero.
