A terminating decimal is a decimal number whose digits don't go on forever, like 3.45.
A non-terminating decimal is a decimal number that goes on forever, like 1/3 = 0.3333333... since the 3's go on forever. So any repeating decimal is non-terminating. Also, numbers like pi go on forever: 3.1415926535897932384626.......
