Euclid’s division lemma :
For given positive integers ‘a’ and ‘b’ there exist unique whole numbers ‘q’
and ‘r’ satisfying the relation a = bq + r, 0  r < b.

The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic :
Every composite number can be expressed (factorized) as a product of
primes and this factorization is unique, apart from the order in which the
prime factors occur.
p
, q  0 to be a rational number, such that the prime
q
factorization of ‘q’ is of the form 2m5n, where m, n are non-negative integers.
Then x has a decimal expansion which is terminating.

be written in the form q where p and q are integers and q  0.
p

q
of q is not of the form 2m5n, where m, n are non-negative integers. Then
x has a decimal expansion which is non-terminating repeating.
