Mathematics for Standard X

Chapter no.1 Real Numbers ( Exercise 1.4)

Today we are going to learn the Rational numbers and Their decimal expansions from chapter 1 of your Mathematics textbook .

Rational numbers  :- Rational number is a number, which can be expressed in the form of  p/q  , where p and q are integers and q not equal to zero.
e.g  2/3 , -4 , -5/2 etc.

Decimal  Expansion of Rational numbers :-
The decimal expansion of rational numbers are of two types  i.e. Terminating decimal expansion and Non-terminating repeating (recurring) decimal expansion.

1) Let x = p/q be a rational number,  such that the prime factorisation of q is of the form of 2 to the power n 5 to the power m , where m & n are non-negative integers. Then x has a decimal expansion which terminates.

2) Let x = p/q be a rational number, such that the prime factorisation of q is not of the form 2 to the power n 5 to the power m , where m & n are non-negative integers. Then x  has a decimal expansion which is Non-terminating repeating ( recurring ).

Now observe the examples
