Answer:

= non-terminating

Explanation:

The greatest common factor (GCF) of 7 and 45 is 1.

7 ÷ 1 = 7

45 ÷ 1 45

prime factors of 45

3 x 3 x 5

A fraction is a terminating decimal if the prime factors of the denominator of the fraction in its lowest form only contain 2s and/or 5s or no prime factors at all. This is not the case here.

7/45

= non-terminating
