Rational numbers.
A decimal is a way of representing a number in such a way that the place value of each digit is ten times that of the digit to its right. Any number can have a decimal representation. Rational numbers have decimal representations that are either terminating or recurring whereas non-recurring decimals represent irrational numbers.
