A terminating decimal number is one whose decimal representation ends after a final number of digits. A non-terminating decimal number is one whose decimal representation goes on forever. It could be in the form of a number-string that repeats infinitely, for example, 2/11 = 0.18181818.... or one in which there is no pattern (all Irrational Numbers).

Analogous definitions apply to numbers expressed in other bases.
