Question
Without actual division, show that the following rational numbers is a non-terminating repeating decimal:$\frac{77}{210}$
✓
Answer
$\frac{77}{210}=\frac{77\div\text{7}}{210\div7}$$=\frac{11}{30}=\frac{11}{2\times3\times5}$
We know $2, 3$ or $5$ is not a factor of $11$, so $\frac{11}{30}$ is in its simplest form.
Moreover, $(2 \times 3 \times 5) \neq (2^m \times 5^n)$
Hence, the given rational is non-terminating repeating decimal.
