a repeating decimal
a decimal in which a digit or group of digits repeats without end
It is a repeating decimal.
A recurring 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.

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