Which of the following rational numbers has a terminating decimal expansion ?
A) 12/576
B) 33/528
C) 11/484
D) 14/524

Dear student,
for a rational number to be terminating, the denominator should be in the form 2× 5n, in simplest form.
12/576=(1/48)=1/(2× 3)
33/528= (1/16)=1/24
11/484=(1/44)= 1/(22 × 11)
14/524= 7/262= 7/(2×131)
Only option B follow the required criterion
Therefore option B is correct
