    We know 5 is not a factor of 23, so it is in its simplest form.

    24/125 =

    24/5³ = 24 × 2³/ 53 x 2³

    = 192/1000

    = 0.1

    We know 5 is not a factor of 23, so it is in

    its simplest form.

    Moreover, it is in the form of (2m x 5n). Hence, the given rational is terminating.
