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...

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
