What causes the difference between terminating and repeating decimals?
2/5 can be simply represented in the decimal system. It is 1 tenth of 20/5, ie 0.4 . But 1/3 is a bit more tricky, because if you say it is 1 tenth of 10/3 you get 3 and 1 left over to be divided by 3 so you've got nowhere. In the decimal system you can only represent 1/3 by 3/10 + 3/100 + 3/1000 etc forever. This is a geometric series, and the sum of this is (using the formula for a geometric series) just 0.3/(1-1/10) = 1/3 . That's a problem of numbers in "base 10". In base 3, one third is simply 0.1 . A number with repeating decimals (or groups of repeats) can always be turned back to a fraction by summing the series.
