Solution

We have,

Theorem states:

Let be a rational number, such that the prime factorization of q is not of the form , where m and n are non-negative integers.

Then, x has a decimal expression which is non-terminating repeating.

This is clear that the prime factorization of the denominator is not of the form.

Hence, it has non-terminating decimal expansion.
