How can you predict whether a quotient will be terminating decimal or a 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.
Is a repeating decimal greater than a decimal?
Repeating decimal and decimal are both numerical representations. The question depends on which numbers.
What is the greatest possible decimal that is greater than 3 but less than 9?
It is 8.999... (repeating, except for 1 digit somewhere in the repeating string which is not a 9).
What is the answer for .8412 repeating decimal?
It depends on what the question is. For example, yes, it is a rational number. Or no, it is not greater than 0.85
Is a repeating decimal bigger than a normal decimal?
Yes if you mean 0.666...repeating it is bigger than 0.6 non-repeating * * * * * But not if you mean is 0.666... repeating is bigger than 0.67
Is a decimal greater than a repeating decimal?
Not necessarily. 0.66666 repeating is greater than 0.4
How does 1 over 3 to 100th power have a repeating or terminating decimal representation?
It is repeating. Any fraction in simplest terms which has ANY prime factor other than 2 or 5 in its denominator will be a repeating fraction.
How are fractions are related to repeating decimals and terminating decimals?
If the denominator of the fraction has any prime factor other than 2 or 5, then it has a decimal representation with a repeating sequence of digits. If the denominator is a product of any number of 2s or 5s then it can be represented as a terminating decimal.
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 quotient will be terminating decimal or a repeating decimal?

How can a decimal greater than 1 be a repeating decimal?
A decimal number is like a mixed fraction: it has an integer part and a fractional part. If the fractional part is a repeating fraction then the whole number is represented by a repeating decimal.
How can you if a decimal is a terminating or repeating?
It depends. Suppose the fraction can be expressed as a ratio of two integers. When the fraction is in its simplest form, if the denominator has any prime factor other than 2 or 5 then the decimal is repeating. If the only prime factors are 2 and 5 then it is terminating. However, given a decimal representation, it is generally not possible to tell whether it will terminate after a while, or settle into a repeating pattern or if the pattern that looks as if it is repeating changes.
Is a repeating decimal greater than a decimal?
Repeating decimal and decimal are both numerical representations. The question depends on which numbers.
Why can a decimal greater than 1 be a repeating decimal?
Any rational number, whose denominator has a prime factor other than 2 or 5 will have a decimal representation which is repeating. The size of the number, in relation to 1, is irrelevant.
What is the greatest possible decimal that is greater than 3 but less than 9?
It is 8.999... (repeating, except for 1 digit somewhere in the repeating string which is not a 9).
How do you know if a decimal is terminating or repeating?
If you know what rational fraction it represents then, if the denominator in the fraction's simplest form has any prime factor other than 2 and 5, then it is a repeating decimal and if not it is terminating.Otherwise you need to examine the digits of the decimal representation in detail. Remember though, that the repeating string could be thousands of digits long (or even longer).
What is the answer for .8412 repeating decimal?
It depends on what the question is. For example, yes, it is a rational number. Or no, it is not greater than 0.85
