Not all fractions can be written exactly as a decimal. 1/3, for example, which is approximately 0.333 ...... actually extends to any number of digits one may wish to write and is still not mathematically exact.

Not all, as some numbers, which are known as "Irrational Numbers" cannot be written in the form, p/q where q doesn't = 0.

Examples are: √2 √3 √5 as they are never ending(non terminating) and non repeating.

Also pi is a irrational which is 22/7 only by approximation, its actual value is not just 3.14 but it is 3.14159265....
