What is the difference between terminating and repeating numbers?
A terminating number has a definitive value - A repeating number continues indefinitely. For example - 10 divided by 8 is 0.125 (a terminating number) - 10 divided by 3 is 3.333333 (the decimal repeats indefinitely).
If it doesn if a decimal doesn't terminate or repeat is it still a rational number or not?
No, if a decimal does not terminate or repeat, it is not a rational number. Rational numbers can be expressed as a ratio of two integers, and their decimal representation either terminates or repeats after a certain point. Decimals that do not have a pattern and continue indefinitely are considered irrational numbers.
Is a repeating 36 rational?
Any number that either terminates or repeats the same pattern over and over is rational - and vice versa: any rational number either terminates, or repeats.
What is the next number in this pattern 2 6 5 15 14 42 41 123?
122, because it goes x2 then -1 and repeats
What is repeating as an fraction?
A decimal fraction is said to be repeating if, after a finite number of digits, there is a string of a finite number of digits which repeats itself for ever more.For example,1537/700 = 2.19571428571428...The first three digits in the decimal representation are not part of the repeating pattern. After that, however, the string "591428" repeats endlessly.
