1/3 does not terminate.
How can you tell if a decimal will be repeating or terminating by looking at a fraction?
In general, you cannot.If the fraction is in its simplest form and the denominator has any prime factor other than 2 or 5 then it is a repeating decimal; otherwise it will terminate. However, most people will not know simply by looking whether 21474836480 has any factors other than 2 and 5.
Must any rational number terminate?
Not always because any number that can be expressed as a fraction is a rational number as for example 0.666...recurring can be expressed as 2/3 as a fraction

What can you predict whether a quotient will be a terminating decimal or repeating decimal?
If the denominator of the fraction, when written in its simplest form, has any prime factor other than 2 or 5 then it will be a repeating decimal fraction otherwise it will terminate.

How can you predict whether a fraction will give a recurring or terminating decimal?
Reduce the fraction to its simplest form - that is, remove any common factors between the numerator and denominator. If the denominator now is a factor of some power of 10, that is, if the denominator is of the form 2a*5b then the fraction will me a terminating decimal. If not, it will not.
