Explanation
The given number is 23/8
We know a rational number is expressed in simplest form p/q and if q can be expressed as
×, then it is a terminating decimal
Clearly, 2 and 5 are not the factors of 23
8 can be expressed in terms of its primes as 2×2×2
Or, 8 =., where m = 3 and n = 0
Since q can be expressed in the form of., we can say 23/8 is a terminating decimal.
