1/3 does not terminate.
In general, you cannot.If the fraction is in its simplest form and the denominator has any prime factor other than 2 or 5 then it is a repeating decimal; otherwise it will terminate. However, most people will not know simply by looking whether 21474836480 has any factors other than 2 and 5.
Not always because any number that can be expressed as a fraction is a rational number as for example 0.666...recurring can be expressed as 2/3 as a fraction
The answer will depend on whether the fraction is 3.2525... or 3.2555...
No. For example, the fraction 1/14 goes on forever when written as a decimal. (.0714285714285714285714285714285...)
If the denominator of the fraction, when written in its simplest form, has any prime factor other than 2 or 5 then it will be a repeating decimal fraction otherwise it will terminate.

1/3 does not terminate.
Reduce the fraction to its simplest form - that is, remove any common factors between the numerator and denominator. If the denominator now is a factor of some power of 10, that is, if the denominator is of the form 2a*5b then the fraction will me a terminating decimal. If not, it will not.
1/4 and 7/2 terminate.
It predicts whether or not a reaction will be spontaneous.

A fraction is a fraction, whether it is visual or purely conceptual.

Think of the division problem as a fraction. Simplify the fraction to its simplest form. For example, simplify 7/14 to 1/2. If the only factors of the denominator are 1, 2, and 5, then it will terminate. If the denominator has any other factors, it will repeat. For example, n/16 will always terminate for any integer n. But n/15 will never terminate for any non-zero integer n if the fraction is in its simplest form. Another method is to do the division. If you are dividing a/b (where a and b are both integers), then if it is going to terminate, it will terminate within b-1 decimal places. In other words, the repeating portion will never be longer than b-1 digits.
