The answer depends on the repeating string and also on other digits after the decimal point before the repeating string starts.
17 is already in decimal. If you mean 1/7 (the fraction) then it's 0.142857, and the 142857 in the fraction part repeats forever.
If the 7 repeats forever, it's 7/9 .
It is not possible to have a terminating decimal which repeats or a repeating decimal which terminates. The two types are mutually exclusive.
If it repeats, there should be a little line over the last digit(s) that repeat. If it terminates, then the numbers will not repeat.
Divide the numerator by the denominator and express it as a decimal number (it may not be an exact number, so you may have to decide the number of decimal places). Examples: For the fraction 1/2, you would divide the numerator (1) by the denominator (2) and the answer turns out to be a decimal, exactly 0.5 For 5/8, the decimal is exactly 0.625 For 1/3, the decimal repeats, so it could be 0.33 or 0.3333 (repeats infinitely)
It means that it is a decimal representation of a rational fraction.
If the decimal stops or repeats, it can be written as a fraction. If it goes on randomly forever, it can't.
They form a proper subset of rational numbers.
17 is already in decimal. If you mean 1/7 (the fraction) then it's 0.142857, and the 142857 in the fraction part repeats forever.
0.1888 (repeats) is equivalent to the fraction 17/90.
891/1250 if you cut the repeats down
If the 7 repeats forever, it's 7/9 .
The decimal of the fraction 8 over 110 is 0.07272. The 72 in the decimal repeats itself indefinitely, as in 0.072727272...
1/7 (the fraction) then it's 0.142857, and the 142857 in the fraction part repeats forever.
a decimal that repeats is called a repeating decimal
