With the small sample provided, it doesn't look as if it is repeating. The problem, however, lies in the "and so forth"; it is not clear what rule you use to write the decimal digits, and depending on what exactly that rule is, it may, or may not, be a repeating decimal. To be "repeating", and therefore a rational number, after a while the same group of digits has to repeat over and over, without end.

Is 0.1666666 a repeating decimal?
no, there are no elipses so it doesn't go on forever, therefore, not a repeating decimal
Is there such a thing as a repeating decimal that has a non-repeating decimal after it?
No, because repeating decimals never stop repeating, so it would be impossible to have a different number that does not repeat.
What is 22 divided by 121 in a fraction and decimal?

Is a decimal form of an irrational number a repeating decimal?
Not necessarily. Remember that the definition of an irrational number is a number that can't be expressed as a simple fraction. 2/3, for example, is rational by that definition even though its decimal form is a repeating decimal. Since irrational numbers cannot be written as fractions, they don't have fraction forms. So basically, numbers with repeating decimals are considered rational. Irrational numbers don't have repeating decimals.
What is 54 over 117 in simplest form?
Well, of course your input is 54/117. Your exact result is 6/13. The decimal approximation is just a very large decimal number. But the repeating decimal is 0.461538 repeating, so over the numbers '461538', there should be a line over them. Your percentage is 46.15%. :)
Is 8.56909 a rational or irrational decimal?

Is 0.243 a reapting decimal?
No a repeating decimal is a decimal like 2/3, which is .6666666666 and so on.
Is a repeating decimal greater than a decimal?
Repeating decimal and decimal are both numerical representations. The question depends on which numbers.
What are the numbers in the smallest group of repeating digits when 4111 is converted to a nonterminating decimal?
4111 is an integer and so there is no sensible way to convert it into a repeating decimal.
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.

Is 8.2 a rational number?
Yes. Any terminating decimal is a rational number. Any repeating decimal also.
How do you change one sixth to a percent?
1/6 as a decimal is 0.1666 repeating percent. So what you need to do is move the decimal point over twice to the right and you get the percent, 16.66 repeating %.
What 6 and 18 in fraction and decimal?
6/1/ = 6/18 as a fraction - which can be simplified, if you so desire. The decimal is 0.33... (repeating).
