The correct Answer is:
To determine the prime factorization of the denominator of the rational number \(0.\overline{1347}\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the repeating decimal Let \( x = 0.\overline{1347} \). ### Step 2: Eliminate the repeating part Since the decimal repeats every 4 digits (1347), we can multiply \( x \) by \( 10^4 = 10000 \) to shift the decimal point: \[ 10000x = 1347.\overline{1347} \] ### Step 3: Set up an equation Now we have two equations: 1. \( x = 0.\overline{1347} \) (Equation 1) 2. \( 10000x = 1347.\overline{1347} \) (Equation 2) ### Step 4: Subtract the two equations Subtract Equation 1 from Equation 2: \[ 10000x - x = 1347.\overline{1347} - 0.\overline{1347} \] This simplifies to: \[ 9999x = 1347 \] ### Step 5: Solve for \( x \) Now, divide both sides by 9999: \[ x = \frac{1347}{9999} \] ### Step 6: Factor the denominator Next, we need to find the prime factorization of the denominator \( 9999 \). We can start by dividing by small prime numbers: 1. \( 9999 \div 3 = 3333 \) 2. \( 3333 \div 3 = 1111 \) 3. \( 1111 \div 11 = 101 \) (since 1111 is divisible by 11) 4. \( 101 \) is a prime number. So, the prime factorization of \( 9999 \) is: \[ 9999 = 3^2 \times 11 \times 101 \] ### Conclusion The prime factorization of the denominator \( 9999 \) contains prime factors other than \( 2 \) and \( 5 \). This confirms that the denominator of the fraction representation of the non-terminating repeating decimal \( 0.\overline{1347} \) has prime factors other than \( 2 \) and \( 5 \). ---
