A repeating decimal is sometimes called a recurring decimal. The main idea is that at some point it must become periodic. That is to say, a certain part of the decimal must repeat, even though not all of it repeats. The parts that repeats is called the repetend.
One very important idea is the a real number has a repeating decimal representation if and only if it is rational.

∙ 14y agoWhen expressed as a decimal, a rational number will either be terminating (end with a finite number of digits) or repeating (have a repeating pattern of digits).
A terminating decimal is a rational number. A non-terminating, repeating decimal is a rational number. A non-terminating, non-repeating decimal is an irrational number.
Yes, a rational number can be a repeating decimal. A repeating decimal is a decimal in which one or more digits repeat infinitely. For example, 1/3 is a rational number that can be written as the repeating decimal 0.333...

It is not clear what you mean by a repeating whole number!

No. A rational number is any terminating numeral. A repeating decimal is irrational.
A repeating rational number is an irrational number. An irrational number is an number that has no definite end. 4.15 has a definite end and is therefore a rational number.
