It gets bigger. Quickly. Also, if it was an integer, then it will eventually end in a 5, followed by a bunch of 0's. There will be as many 0's as there were powers of 2 dividing the original number.

Assuming the number is represented by a decimal integer, initialise a counter to zero, then repeatedly divide the number by 10 and until the number is zero. After each division, examine the remainder. Each time the remainder is zero, increment the counter. If the number is represented by a decimal float, repeatedly multiply by 10 until the value is an integer, then perform the previous algorithm.
