If it is a repeating decimal for a rational number, such as 1/3 (.333...), you can write the sequence once and draw a "repeating" notation above the sequence. So in the case of 1/3, I would write ".3" with a horizontal line above the "3".
In the case of an irrational number such as Pi or a decimal for which you do not know the sequence repeated, you can just round it off to the precision required. For Pi, this is often expressed as "3.14," for example.
