A nonterminating number does not end. An example is the fraction 1/3. When written as a decimal, it is a nonterminating number. Also pi is a nonterminating number. Some nonterminating numbers are repeating, some are nonrepeating. But they just don't end.
a terminating decimal is one that has an end like 1/2 is 0.5 nonterminating does not end like 1/3 is 0.33333333333333333333333333333333333333333... where there are an infinite number of 3s on the end. 1/4 is 0.25 so it is also terminating pi is a nonterminating number it is 3.14159265359... it also doesn't have a set pattern to go by so its not only a nonterminating decimal, but it is an irrational number. Hope that helps
the simplest answer to that is that whole numbers do not have decimals or fractions.
A terminating decimal means a decimal with a definite end. For example 1/2 = .50. 3/4 = .75 3/8 = .375 The decimals that don't end or called non-terminating decimals.
Well, honey, non-examples of decimals would be anything that isn't a decimal. So, we're talking about whole numbers, fractions, and even those pesky irrational numbers like pi that never seem to end. Basically, if it's not a decimal, it's a non-example of a decimal.
