Terminating means coming to an end so non-terminating means not ending.

A non-terminating decimal may either consist of repeating sets of digits (such as in the decimal representation of some rational numbers eg 3/7 = 0.428571 428571 428571 ...) or a random sequence of digits (as in the decimal representation of an irrational number).

Terminating and nonterminating decimal?

a terminating decimal is one that has an end like 1/2 is 0.5 nonterminating does not end like 1/3 is 0.33333333333333333333333333333333333333333... where there are an infinite number of 3s on the end. 1/4 is 0.25 so it is also terminating pi is a nonterminating number it is 3.14159265359... it also doesn't have a set pattern to go by so its not only a nonterminating decimal, but it is an irrational number. Hope that helps
