Is the fraction 7 over 6 a terminating decimal or a repeating decimal?

Answer 1

Well honey, let me break it down for you. The fraction 7/6 is an improper fraction, meaning the numerator is greater than the denominator. When you divide 7 by 6, you get 1 with a remainder of 1. So, it's not a terminating decimal, nor is it a repeating decimal. It's just a sassy little fraction that doesn't conform to your decimal rules.

Answer 2

It is a recurring decimal.

You only get a terminating decimal if, in the lowest form, the denominaor of the fraction is a factor of 10 or a power of 10. That is to say, only if the denominator is of the form 2m5n where m and n are non-negative integers.
