Lesson 17: Division of Decimals
Learning Competency: Differentiates terminating from repeating,
nonterminating decimal quotients.
Concept:
Rational numbers can be expressed in the form of decimal fractions.
These rational numbers when converted into decimal fractions can be
both terminating and non-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 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=
(3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510582097
4.....) is an example of non-terminating decimal as it keeps on continuing
after decimal point.
Let’s Try
Solve then identify if the quotient is a terminating or a repeating /
non – terminating decimal.
