Irrational.
Decimals can either terminate OR repeat. One decimal does not do both. Example-- 3.059 is a terminating decimal, meaning it stops. Example-- 3.059059... is a repeating decimal, meaning it repeats. You would write that as 3.059 with a line over the 0,5, and 9 because they repeat themselves.
Decimals repeat because there is no definite end. In these, you can end the repeat by rounding up... (Exp: 4.44444444444444... would be 4.45 or 4.445 or 4.4445, etc.
A terminating decimal
A repeating decial
The name for a decimal of this kind is "recurring".
Recurring
A number can end or repeat but it cannot end andrepeat (other than repeat 000... or 999... ).A number that can be written as a terminating or repeating decimal is a rational number.
Irrational.
It is a decimal that does not end, nor do the numberals repeat themselves in any recognizable sequence. An example is Pi.
A repeating decimal is a decimal that contains a series of numbers that repeat indefinitely. Examples include: 3.44444... 4.565656... 2.356356356... An ellipsis (...) at the end of the decimal signals that it repeats indefinitely.
Any number that can be written as a fraction:15.2=152/10 etc. Any number without a decimal or fraction: 15. Any numbers with decimal numbers that end (4, 2.5) or repeat (1/3, 55/9).
It is a repeating decimal.
The decimal form of nineteen over six is: 3.1666666666666666666666666666666666666666667 This is an approximation, since the sixes repeat forever, the 7 at the end is merely a rounding up .
No. Pi is a transcendental number which is a kind of irrational number. It has an infinite decimal representation which does not end nor does it go into a recurring cycle. That does not mean that there are no repeated digits, it simply means that digits may repeat themselves for a little while but then continue in what appears to be a random pattern. Not only does it not have an infinite decimal representation, but infinite binary, ternary, etc representations.
It is a repeating decimal.
