Beta, check the denominator after simplifying the fraction. If it has only prime factors of 2 and 5, it will terminate. Here, 13/3125 simplifies to 13/(5^5), so it terminates. Teaching my granddaughter this trick reminded me of tabla bols—some patterns end cleanly, like a *tihai*, while others cycle on like Delhi’s monsoon rumors.
