Calculation:

A rational number is terminating if it can be expressed in the form: p/(2n×5m).

The rational number whose denominator is a number that has no other factor than 2 or 5,

will terminate the result sooner or later after the decimal point.

∴ The decimal expansion of the number is Terminating
