Repeating: Until you become expert at this I suggest you do this in two stages (using c and d separately). Suppose there are c digits after the decimal place where the digits are non-repeating, after which you get a repeating pattern of a string of d digits. Then the numerator is the old original string including one lot of the repeated digits minus the original string with none of the repeating digits. The denominator is 10c*(10d - 1), which is a string of d 9s followed by c 0s.
For example 123.26159159… There are 2 digits, "26", after the decimal point before the repeats kick in so c = 2, and the repeating string "159" is 3 digits long so d = 3. So the numerator is 12326159 – 12326 = 12313833 and the denominator is 99900 Therefore the fraction is 12313833/99900.
Finally, you should check to see if the fraction can be simplified.

It is a repeating decimal.
4/11 is a repeating decimal.
The latter which would be an irrational number that cannot be expressed as a fraction.
Any rational number is either a repeating decimal, or a terminating decimal.
No, the sum of a repeating decimal and a terminating decimal is never a terminating decimal.
