2/8 can be reduced to 1/4, which you should know to be .25 in decimal form. Because the decimal "terminates" after the hundredths place, it is a terminating decimal. An example of a repeating decimal would be 1/3. This would come out to be .333333... (etc.) Most calculators will display something like 2/3 as .6666667 placing the 7 on their last available digit displayer as a means of rounding the repeating decimal.
