Suppose there are c digits after the decimal place where the digits are non-repeating, and then you get a repeating pattern of a string of d digits.
Then the numerator is the old original string including one lot of the repeated digits minus the original string with none of the repeating digits. The denominator is 10^c*(10^d - 1), which is a string of d 9s followed by c 0s.
For example
123.26159159… There are 2 digits, "26", after the decimal point before the repeats kick in so c = 2, and the repeating string "159" is 3 digits long so d = 3.
So the numerator is 12326159 – 12326 = 12313833
and the denominator is 99900
Therefore the fraction is 12313833/99900.
Yes, a rational number can be a repeating decimal. A repeating decimal is a decimal in which one or more digits repeat infinitely. For example, 1/3 is a rational number that can be written as the repeating decimal 0.333...
You can round the decimal fraction to a suitable level of accuracy. Alternatively, you can convert the number to a rational fraction.
A terminating decimal is a rational number. A non-terminating, repeating decimal is a rational number. A non-terminating, non-repeating decimal is an irrational number.
The rational number that has 0.34 repeating as its decimal equivalent can be expressed as a fraction. To convert the repeating decimal 0.34 to a fraction, we can use the formula for repeating decimals, which is x = a/(10^m - 1), where a is the repeating part of the decimal and m is the number of repeating digits. In this case, a = 34 and m = 2, so the fraction is 34/99. Therefore, the rational number is 34/99.
No. A rational number is any terminating numeral. A repeating decimal is irrational.
Repeating decimals are always rational.
Any rational number is either a repeating decimal, or a terminating decimal.
Yes.
Since 2.33333... is a repeating decimal (or recurring decimal), it is a rational number.
No. It is a rational number. Any repeating decimal or terminating decimal is rational.
All repeating decimals are rational numbers. Not all rational numbers are repeating decimals.
Yes. Any terminating decimal is a rational number. Any repeating decimal also.
