Open in App
Solution

Terminating decimals: Terminating decimals are those numbers which come to an end after few repetitions after decimal point.

Example: 0.5, 2.456, 123.456, etc. are all examples of terminating decimals.

Non terminating decimals: Non terminating decimals are those which keep on continuing after decimal point (i.e. they go on forever). They don’t come to end or if they do it is after a long interval.

For example:

π = (3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974.....) is an example of non terminating decimal as it keeps on continuing after decimal point.
