Is 13/91 a repeating decimal?

Here we will show you how to determine if 13/91 is a repeating decimal or a non-repeating decimal.

A repeating decimal is a decimal number that goes on forever. We want to know if the decimal number you get when you divide the fraction 13/91 (13 ÷ 91) is repeating or non-repeating.

Here are the steps to determine if 13/91 is a repeating decimal number:

1) Find the denominator of 13/91 in its lowest form.
The greatest common factor (GCF) of 13 and 91 is 13. Convert 13/91 to its simplest form by dividing the numerator and denominator by its GCF:

		13 ÷ 13
		91 ÷ 13

		1
		7

Thus, the denominator of 13/91 in its lowest form is 7.

2) Find the prime factors of the answer in Step 1.
The prime factors of 7 are all the prime numbers that you multiply together to get 7. The prime factors of 7 are:

7

3) Determine if 13/91 is repeating
A fraction is a repeating decimal if the prime factors of the denominator of the fraction in its lowest form do not only contain 2s and/or 5s or do not have any prime factors at all. This is the case here, which means that our answer is as follows:

13/91
