The fraction always converts to a terminating decimal with 16 as the denominator. The dividing operation by 2 always leads to an integer or a terminating decimal. Therefore, a fraction with 16 as the denominator always converts to a terminating decimal because 16 is an exponential number of 2 (16= 2^4).
