Any decimal that has only a finite number of nonzero digits is a terminating decimal. For example, 96, 0.92, and 31.005 are terminating decimals.

If a, b, c, d, and e are integers and $$M=(13^a)*(5^b)*26\ \ and\ \ N=(2^c)*(13^d)*(25^e),$$ is M/N a terminating decimal?

(1) a > d
(2) b > d

The OA is A .

Experts, how should I solve this DS question? I would appreciate your help.
