What are facts about rational numbers?

Rational numbers can be written as a fraction with a non-zero denominator,as a terminating,a decimal,or a repeating decimal.


Can a rational number be repeating decimal?

Yes, a rational number can be a repeating decimal. A repeating decimal is a decimal in which one or more digits repeat infinitely. For example, 1/3 is a rational number that can be written as the repeating decimal 0.333...


How can a decimal be a rational number-?

Rational Numbers are any number that can be written in fraction form .This includes integers, terminating decimals, and repeating decimals as well as fractions. A decimal number can be written in rational numbers depending on the place value of the decimal point.


Is 8.2 a rational number?

Yes. Any terminating decimal is a rational number. Any repeating decimal also.


Is the square root of 51 a rational number?

no: the decimal is not repeating or terminating and therefore cannot be written as a fraction, which is one of the two requirements to be a rational number.


What type of number is 3.33333?

The number 3.33333 is a rational number, specifically a repeating decimal. It can be expressed as 10/3 in fraction form, which means it can be written as a ratio of two integers. Rational numbers can be written as terminating decimals or repeating decimals, like in this case.


Is 75.082106 repeating rational or irrational?

The number 75.082106 with a repeating decimal is rational. A rational number can be expressed as a fraction of two integers, where the denominator is not zero. In this case, the repeating decimal can be written as a fraction, making it a rational number. Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as fractions and have non-repeating, non-terminating decimal expansions.


Does all the numbers have to repeat in order to be a rational number?

For a number to be rational you need to be able to write it as a fraction. To answer your question, it must repeat as a decimal or else terminate which can be thought of as repeating zeroes. Further, every repeating decimal can be written as a fraction and you can find the fraction by using the formula for the sum of an infinite geometric series.


Is 0.62 repeating a rational number?

As written '0.62' it is a terminating rational decimal 0.626262.... is a repeating rational decimal. Note the repetition of the number followed by three or more full stops to indicate repetition. NB Both are rational because both can be converted to a ratio/fraction.


A decimal that can be written into a fraction is called?

The decimal representation of a rational number.


Do rational numbers have a repeating decimal?

They can. And if you include repeating 0s and repeating 9s, then all rational numbers can be written with infinitely long repeating digits.


Is a decimal form of an irrational number a repeating decimal?

Not necessarily. Remember that the definition of an irrational number is a number that can't be expressed as a simple fraction. 2/3, for example, is rational by that definition even though its decimal form is a repeating decimal. Since irrational numbers cannot be written as fractions, they don't have fraction forms. So basically, numbers with repeating decimals are considered rational. Irrational numbers don't have repeating decimals.
