To identify whether a fraction is a terminating decimal or not, we can use the division operation and divide numerator by denominator. For example, 1/8 is a terminating decimal expansion as the quotient after dividing 1 by 8 is 0.125. Is 7/8 a terminating decimal? The decimal representation of 7/8 is 0.875. So, it is a terminating decimal.
