No. Any fraction can be written as a repeating decimal - and vice versa. For example, take the repeating decimal (which I call "x"):
x = 0.4123123123...
Now multiply that by 1000:
1000x = 412.3123123123...
Subtract the first quation from the second, and you get:
999x = 411.9
Solving for x:
9990x = 4119
x = 4119/9990
This is a fraction of whole numbers, therefore, a rational number.
