Why is the pi symbol used instead of the numbers?
Pi is an irrational number, can not be represented as a fraction or repeating or terminating decimal, therefore to write it as a number it must be rounded off or estimated. Many formulas can cancel or reduce out the value for pi and make for short work of the number.
Is 7 a terminating decimal?
Well, if you want the truth 7 is a whole number not a decimal. ========================================= Also, if what you wrote is all there is of it, then it must be terminating, because there was no more of it to write.
What is a number that cannot be written as a fraction a decimal that is non repeating non terminating?
Numbers that can be expressed as fractions are called rational. A number that cannot be written as a fraction is called irrational. Common examples of this are the square root of 2, e, pi, etc*.Real numbers (which include irrational and rational numbers) can be described by decimal expansions (possibly infinite ones). If a number has a decimal representation that repeats it must also be able to be represented as a fraction.* (the last two of these are also transcendental, which essentially means they cannot be described as a solution to certain equations).
What is 0.234375 as a repeating fraction?
It is a terminating fraction. But, if you must, you could write it as 0.23437500000... with infinitely many 0s or 0.23437499999... with infinitely many 9s.
What is the decimal and fraction of 95?
The decimal is 95, exactly as in the question. 95 is an integer, not a fraction. But, if you must express it as a fraction, it is 95/1.
What is 7 as a decimal and a fraction?
As a decimal it is 7. It is not really a fraction but, if you must write it as one, it can be represented by 7/1.
How do you do fractional as decimal?
You undertake a long division. Any fraction is a rational number and so its decimal representation must be terminating or recurring. A terminating decimal will mean that the long division reaches a point when the remainder is zero. A recurring decimal sequence is equivalent to the long division going through a cycle of remainders.
Why is the pi symbol used instead of the numbers?
Pi is an irrational number, can not be represented as a fraction or repeating or terminating decimal, therefore to write it as a number it must be rounded off or estimated. Many formulas can cancel or reduce out the value for pi and make for short work of the number.

If A over B is a fraction in simplest form with A and B counting numbers and a terminating decimal form why must B be a factor of a power of 10?
Suppose A/B equals a decimal fraction F, which has d digits after the decimal place and then terminates.Then (A/B)*10D = F*10D is an integer.That is A*10D/B is an integer.A and B are coprime so they have no factor in common and therefore B must divide 10D.
What is the equivalent decimal or fraction of 17?
The decimal is 17, the fraction (if you must have one) is 17/1
What is the decimal and fraction of 95?
The decimal is 95, exactly as in the question. 95 is an integer, not a fraction. But, if you must express it as a fraction, it is 95/1.
What is 0.234375 as a repeating fraction?
It is a terminating fraction. But, if you must, you could write it as 0.23437500000... with infinitely many 0s or 0.23437499999... with infinitely many 9s.
How do you convert a fraction into a decimale?
To convert a decimal into a fraction you must multiply the numerator by the denominator.
Is 0.10100100010000 a rational number?
Since it has a terminating decimal (or binary or to any other rational base) representation, it must be rational.
Is -3 a terminating decimal?
From our vantage point here in WikiAnswers Towers, we don't see any decimal at all. If one ever existed, it must have terminated before we got involved.
