However, irrational decimals , such as pi = 3.141592.... cannot be converted to a equal fraction.
A rational decimal are where the digits regularly repeat, and go to infinity, such as 0.234234234...
However, irrational decimals, such as pi = 3.141592... were the digits go to infinity but there is no regular repetition of the numbers.
Some other irrational decimals are the square roots of prime numbers. ;_
sqrt(2) = 1.414213562...
sqrt(3) = 1.732050808...
