Question

Without actual division, show that the following rational numbers is a non-terminating repeating decimal. 

`64/455`

Answer 1

`64/455 = 64/((5 xx 7 xx 13))`

We know 5, 7 or 13 is not a factor of 64, so it is in its simplest form.

Moreover, (5 × 7 × 13) ≠ (2^m × 5ⁿ) 

Hence, the given rational is non-terminating repeating decimal.
