Why is the pi symbol used instead of the numbers?
Pi is an irrational number, can not be represented as a fraction or repeating or terminating decimal, therefore to write it as a number it must be rounded off or estimated. Many formulas can cancel or reduce out the value for pi and make for short work of the number.
Is 7 a terminating decimal?
Well, if you want the truth 7 is a whole number not a decimal. ========================================= Also, if what you wrote is all there is of it, then it must be terminating, because there was no more of it to write.
What is a number that cannot be written as a fraction a decimal that is non repeating non terminating?
Numbers that can be expressed as fractions are called rational. A number that cannot be written as a fraction is called irrational. Common examples of this are the square root of 2, e, pi, etc*.Real numbers (which include irrational and rational numbers) can be described by decimal expansions (possibly infinite ones). If a number has a decimal representation that repeats it must also be able to be represented as a fraction.* (the last two of these are also transcendental, which essentially means they cannot be described as a solution to certain equations).
What is the decimal and fraction of 95?
The decimal is 95, exactly as in the question. 95 is an integer, not a fraction. But, if you must express it as a fraction, it is 95/1.
What is 0.234375 as a repeating fraction?
It is a terminating fraction. But, if you must, you could write it as 0.23437500000... with infinitely many 0s or 0.23437499999... with infinitely many 9s.
What is 7 as a decimal and a fraction?
As a decimal it is 7. It is not really a fraction but, if you must write it as one, it can be represented by 7/1.
How do you do fractional as decimal?
You undertake a long division. Any fraction is a rational number and so its decimal representation must be terminating or recurring. A terminating decimal will mean that the long division reaches a point when the remainder is zero. A recurring decimal sequence is equivalent to the long division going through a cycle of remainders.
Why is the pi symbol used instead of the numbers?
Pi is an irrational number, can not be represented as a fraction or repeating or terminating decimal, therefore to write it as a number it must be rounded off or estimated. Many formulas can cancel or reduce out the value for pi and make for short work of the number.

If A over B is a fraction in simplest form with A and B counting numbers and a terminating decimal form why must B be a factor of a power of 10?
Suppose A/B equals a decimal fraction F, which has d digits after the decimal place and then terminates.Then (A/B)*10D = F*10D is an integer.That is A*10D/B is an integer.A and B are coprime so they have no factor in common and therefore B must divide 10D.
What is the equivalent decimal or fraction of 17?
The decimal is 17, the fraction (if you must have one) is 17/1
What is the decimal and fraction of 95?
The decimal is 95, exactly as in the question. 95 is an integer, not a fraction. But, if you must express it as a fraction, it is 95/1.
What is 0.234375 as a repeating fraction?
It is a terminating fraction. But, if you must, you could write it as 0.23437500000... with infinitely many 0s or 0.23437499999... with infinitely many 9s.
How do you convert a fraction into a decimale?
To convert a decimal into a fraction you must multiply the numerator by the denominator.
Is 0.10100100010000 a rational number?
Since it has a terminating decimal (or binary or to any other rational base) representation, it must be rational.
Is -3 a terminating decimal?
From our vantage point here in WikiAnswers Towers, we don't see any decimal at all. If one ever existed, it must have terminated before we got involved.
