Any decimal that has only a finite number of nonzero digits is a terminating decimal. For example, 36, 0.72, and 3.005 are terminating decimals.

If \(a, b, c, d\) and \(e\) are integers and \(p = 2^a\cdot 3^b\) and \(q = 2^c\cdot 3^d\cdot 5^e,\) is \(\dfrac{p}{q}\) a terminating decimal?

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