A never-ending division problem is called a "repeating decimal" or a "recurring decimal." This occurs when the division does not result in a whole number or a terminating decimal, but instead the decimal digits repeat in a pattern indefinitely. For example, 1 divided by 3 results in the repeating decimal 0.3333..., where the digit 3 repeats infinitely.

What do you call never ending decimals?
It depends on whether they are never ending but recurrent or never ending but non-recurring. An example of the first is 2/11 = 0.1818.... where the 18s go on for ever. This is called a recurring decimal. An example of the second is the decimal representation of sqrt(2) = 1.41421356... which goes on forever, but which does not settle into a repeating pattern. These are called non-recurring decimals.
