The non-terminating repeating decimal among the following fractions is:
\( \frac{13}{4} \)
\( \frac{7}{5} \)
\( \frac{3}{40} \)
\( \frac{100}{111} \)
A fraction represents a terminating decimal if its denominator, when expressed in its simplest form, has only prime factors of 2 and/or 5. If the denominator contains any other prime factor, the decimal representation will be non-terminating and repeating (recurring).
Let's examine option D: \( \frac{100}{111} \)
Therefore, \( \frac{100}{111} \) is the non-terminating repeating decimal.
