"dot dot dot" is an ellipsis. It means that the number continues in the way shown to infinity. For instance, the decimal 0.33333... which results from 1/3 carries on giving 3s forever. This cannot be written, obviously, so you write the ellipsis instead. This is also true if a pattern is more than just one number, 23/99 gives the decimal 0.232323.... where the dots represent how the 2323 pattern continues forever.
