Question 3 (iii)
Is $43. ¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¯ 123446789$ rational or not. If it is rational, and of the form $\frac{p}{q}$ , what can you say about the prime factors of q?

Open in App

Solution

It is rational because decimal expansion is recurring.
Therefore, it can be expressed in the form of $\frac{p}{q}$ and the factorisation of q is not of the form $2^{m} \times 5^{n}$ where m and n are non-negative integers.
