The following real numbers have decimal expansions as given below. In each case, decide whether they are rational or not. If they are rational, and of the form, p q what can you say about the prime factors of q? (i) 43.123456789 (ii) 0.120120012000...
The following real numbers have decimal expansions as given below. In each case, decide whether they are rational or not. If they are rational, and of the form, p q what can you say about the prime factors of q?
(i) 43.123456789
(ii) 0.120120012000120000. . .
(iii) \(43.\overline{123456789}\)
(i) 43.123456789
Since it has a terminating decimal expansion, it is a rational number in the form of p/q and q has factors of 2 and 5 only.
(ii) 0.120120012000120000. . .
Since, it has non-terminating and non- repeating decimal expansion, it is an irrational number.
(iii) \(43.\overline{123456789}\)
Since it has non-terminating but repeating decimal expansion, it is a rational number in the form of p/q and q has factors other than 2 and 5.
