terminating decimals Post Tue Jul 24, 2007 9:10 pm

    problem 107 in OG 11 DS for reference

    does division by any even number mean the decimal must terminate?

    Thanks

    Depends on the Even Number and depends on the Numerator

    No. For e.g, division by 6 will not terminate.

    7/6 = 1.1666666...
