that dot means reccurent, its usually above a decimal number, & means that digit continues on forever.
E.g. put 1/3 as a decimal.
this wouldn't be 0.3 it would be 0.3 (with the dot above the 3)
so for the example above the answer is 0.333333333333333333333333333(continues on forever)
By the way, the number can have a dot on more than one of its digits

when ever you divide numbers with a point you move the point over to the right making it 14. but is your dividing it into 28. you have to add a 0 at the end of the 280. because u moved the point on the 1.4, so also if the number was 1.40 you can either move the point two spaces over or one just dont forget to add a zero for ever one number you move the point over.
