a decimal in which a digit or group of digits repeats without end
It is a repeating decimal.
A repeating decimal is a number expressed in decimal form in which, after a finite number of miscellaneous digits, the number continues with a string of a finite number of digits which repeats itself without end.
A recurring decimal.
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.

It is a repeating decimal.
.. has a string of digits which repeats for ever.
A repeating decimal is a number expressed in decimal form in which, after a finite number of miscellaneous digits, the number continues with a string of a finite number of digits which repeats itself without end.
It is the decimal approximation to the value of the irrational number.
A repeated decimal is a decimal representation of a number in which, following a finite string of digits, the decimal digits settles into a string which repeats itself again and again - forever. For example, 111.11/77 = 1.44298701298701... The repeating pattern 298701 appears after the first three digits of the decimal representation.

2/7 is a recurring decimal; it repeats 6 digits: 2/7 = 0.285714285714...
The answer depends on the repeating string and also on other digits after the decimal point before the repeating string starts.
A decimal is a rational number if it ever ends, or if it repeats the same single digit or set of digits forever.
