Answer 1

8 / 9 = 0.8888888888888888888888888889...

So it is a repeating decimal

Answer 2

HEYA!!!!


The number is terminating only if the denominator has numbers such as
${2}^{x} \times {5}^{y}$
Where X and Y are two natural numbers where either X and Y could be 0.

So 9 factors are 3^2.

0.88888888.....
