Detailed Solution

171 800 terminates after 5 decimal places.
We can rewrite the number as follows,
171 800 = 171 2×2×2×2×2×5×5 = 171 2 5 × 5 2
So, we can observe that the denominator is ( 2 5 × 5 2 )=( 2 x × 5 y ) , which means that the rational number will terminate.
Now to make the denominator a power of 10, we will multiply the numerator and the denominator of the rational number by 5 3 and simplify as follows,
171 800 = 171× 5 3 2 5 × 5 5 171 800 = 171×125 32×3125 171 800 = 21375 100000 171 800 =0.21375
So, the decimal expansion of the rational number is obtained as 0.21375 which terminates after 5 decimal places.
