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.
A number that can be expressed as a fraction of two integers is called a rational number. Rational numbers have decimal representations that either terminate (like 0.75) or repeat (like 0.333...). This property distinguishes them from irrational numbers, which cannot be expressed as simple fractions and have non-repeating, non-terminating decimal representations.
They are called rational numbers
It is a recurring or a repeating decimal
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.
