Not all decimal representations are repeating decimals.
they are called repeating decimals.
Some non-terminating decimals are repeating decimals.
Irrational number or repeating decimal
They are called terminating decimals.
The decimal that never stops is called recurring decimal. For example - 1/3 = 0.3333... and goes on. Such decimals are written with a dot or bar on top of the numbers which are repeating.
a decimal that repeats is called a repeating decimal
The line over a repeating decimal is called the vinculum.
It is a recurring or a repeating decimal
They are called rational numbers
a repeating decimal
The decimals with the same number of decimal places are called like decimals. Equivalent decimals are decimal numbers that have the same value. For example, 3.42, 6.05 are like decimals as they have two decimal places. For example, 0.3 and 0.30 are equivalent decimals as they present the same value.
Decimal numbers that never end but that end up having a repeating pattern are called recurring decimals or repeating decimals.Examples would be 1/3 = 0.33333333...or 452/555 = 0.8144144144144144... (where 144 is the repeating pattern).Reaching that repeating pattern is known as becoming periodic. Only rational numbers will have a repeating pattern. (The repeating pattern may be 00000, as in 4/2 = 2.00000... .)If a decimal number continues forever without having a repeating pattern, then it is a irrational number. One example of a number that continues forever without repeating would be π (pi) which continues infinitely without repeating.Pi is also referred to as a transcendental number.
