उत्तर

Denominator of the rational number `257/5000` is 5000.

Now, 5000 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5

= (2)3 × (5)4, which is of the type 2m × 5n where m = 3 and n = 4 are non-negative integers.

∴ `257/5000 = 257/(2^3 xx 5^4) xx 2/2`  ...[Multiplying numerator and denominator by 2]

 = `514/(2^4 xx 5^4)`

= `514/(10)^4`

= `514/10000`

= 0.0514

Hence, 0.0514 is the required decimal expansion of the rational number `257/5000` and it is also a terminating decimal number.
