Reduce the fraction. By my experience most will be repeating if the denominator is not 2,4,5,8, or 10 or.... MULTIPLE OF 10 and these same ones ..... like 20,40 etc., or a multiple of 100 and these same ones, etc
It is a repeating decimal.

0.2 a repeating decimal into a fraction = 2/9
repeating decimal 1.1 as a fraction = 10/9
A decimal number is like a mixed fraction: it has an integer part and a fractional part. If the fractional part is a repeating fraction then the whole number is represented by a repeating decimal.
The fraction of the repeating decimal 0.7... is 7/9

If the decimal is terminating or repeating then it can be written as a fraction. Decimal representations which are non-terminating and non-repeating cannot be expressed as a fraction.
A decimal number is like a mixed fraction: it has an integer part and a fractional part. If the fractional part is a repeating fraction then the whole number is represented by a repeating decimal.
If you know what rational fraction it represents then, if the denominator in the fraction's simplest form has any prime factor other than 2 and 5, then it is a repeating decimal and if not it is terminating.Otherwise you need to examine the digits of the decimal representation in detail. Remember though, that the repeating string could be thousands of digits long (or even longer).
The decimal 0.428571429 can be expressed as the fraction 3/7. This is because the decimal is a repeating decimal that represents the fraction when simplified. Specifically, 0.428571 is a repeating sequence of the digits 428571, corresponding to the fraction 3/7.
Any rational number is either a repeating decimal, or a terminating decimal.
It is a fraction in decimal form.
