What is the difference between terminating and repeating numbers?

A terminating number has a definitive value - A repeating number continues indefinitely. For example - 10 divided by 8 is 0.125 (a terminating number) - 10 divided by 3 is 3.333333 (the decimal repeats indefinitely).


Is Pi a reacurng or terminating decimal?

Neither, it's an irrational number which never ends or repeats.


What is the definition for non terminating non recurring decimal?

the number that never ends and never repeats the same format is called non terminating non recurring decimals


Does every non-terminating decimal represent an irrational number?

No; if the non-terminating decimal repeats then it represents a rational.Examples:0.3333... = 1/30.428571428571... = 3/70.181818... = 2/11


Why is a rational number a terminating or reapeting decimal?

A rational number terminates or repeats because in both cases they can be represented as a fraction (in a/b form.) When a number keeps going with no period (no part of the number repeats) it cannot be written in a/b form.


What is the difference between a terminating and a repeating decimal?

A terminating decimal reaches an end after a finite number of digits whereas a repeating decimal, after a finite number of digits, has a string of decimals (also of finite length) that repeats forever. Thus 1.2356 is a terminating decimal. 1.456333... is a repeating decimal with the digit 3 repeating an infinite number of times. So also is 23.56142857142857...... where the string 142857 repeats to infinity. In fact, terminating decimals may be viewed as repeating decimals with zero repeating infinitely.


What is a example of a non-terminating and repeating decimal?

Previous Answer: Non terminating decimal - 1.66666666666666666..... Terminating decimal - 1.75 The first number is non-terminating but is NOT non-repeating. An example of a non-terminating non-repeating number would be Pi. It goes on forever and never repeats itself. 3.1415926535897932384626433832795...


What is terminating and non terminating numbers?

A terminating decimal number is one whose decimal representation ends after a final number of digits. A non-terminating decimal number is one whose decimal representation goes on forever. It could be in the form of a number-string that repeats infinitely, for example, 2/11 = 0.18181818.... or one in which there is no pattern (all irrational numbers). Analogous definitions apply to numbers expressed in other bases.


Is 1.24562... an irrational number?

Irrational numbers are non-repeating, non-terminating decimals. If your number repeats, it's rational. If it doesn't, it's irrational.


What is a number that can be written as a fraction a decimal that ends and repeats?

A number can end or repeat but it cannot end andrepeat (other than repeat 000... or 999... ).A number that can be written as a terminating or repeating decimal is a rational number.


Is 29 an irrational number?

Integers are rational. Also, terminating decimal numbers, as well as repeating decimals (such as 3.12121212..., where "12" repeats over and over) are rational.


How do you change terminating but reapeating decimal into a fraction Example 0.88888?

It is not possible to have a terminating decimal which repeats or a repeating decimal which terminates. The two types are mutually exclusive.
