A recurring decimal is a number which is written in decimal notation and in which, after a finite number of digits, a string of digits repeats for ever more. The repeating string need not start straight after the decimal point. For example, 5/26 = 0.1923076923076... with the string 923076 (but not the 1 at its start) repeating for ever.

That means that the decimals repeat indefinitely, as in:0.33333...

0.142857142857142857...

The repetition may start after some initial digits that are not part of the pattern, as in:

0.8414141...
