If you think about it though, you’ll see that any terminating decimal number can actually be written as a repeating decimal too. (Remember, a decimal that just goes on and on with no repeating pattern is irrational.) Can a Terminating Decimal Be Written as a Repeating Decimal?

So a repeating decimal is a rational number whose decimal representation has some repeating pattern, and a terminating decimal is a rational number whose decimal representation eventually stops. 9/11 = 0.818181… is another repeating decimal since the pattern of digits “81” repeat forever.7/9 = 0.7777… is a repeating decimal since 7 goes on forever.3/5 = 0.6 is another terminating decimal number.1/3 = 0.3333… is a repeating decimal since the number 3 goes on forever.1/4 = 0.25 is a terminating decimal since it has a finite number of decimal digits.To see what the difference is, let’s take a look at a few examples of decimal representations of rational numbers:

What are Terminating and Repeating Decimals?īefore we get into the details of how to actually convert terminating and repeating decimals into fractions, we’d better make sure we understand what it means for a rational number to be a “terminating” or “repeating” decimal in the first place.
