What are terminating decimals? wat are reapeating decimals? can you give an example of each

dukedadon:

a google source states : A terminating decimal, true to its name, is a decimal that has an end. For example, 1 / 4 can be expressed as a terminating decimal: It is 0.25. In contrast, 1 / 3 cannot be expressed as a terminating decimal, because it is a recurring decimal, one that goes on forever. In other words, as a decimal 1/3 is 0.33333…..

ewupsheesh:

I dont understand that sorry

dukedadon:

ok i can explain a little further

ewupsheesh:

ok

dukedadon:

In other words, these numbers end after a fixed number of digits after the decimal point. For example, 0.87, 82.25, 9.527, 224.9803,

dukedadon:

so in other words a decimal which can be expressed in a finite number of figures or for which all figures to the right of some place are zero

dukedadon:

do you understand?

ewupsheesh:

Can you give me an example of a repeated decimal please?

dukedadon:

ofc (:

ewupsheesh:

ok

dukedadon:

0.3333, A repeating decimal, also called a recurring decimal, is a number whose decimal representation eventually becomes periodic (i.e., the same sequence of digits repeats indefinitely

ewupsheesh:

Thank you

Joe348:

a terminating decimal is a numbe that doesnt repeat like this 24.3456

Joe348:

but repeating decimal means it does repeat like this 0.77777777 usually with the same number at the end

dukedadon:

i tried to explain that to him in the best way possible lol

Joe348:

or a repeating number would also look like this|dw:1635519132857:dw|

Sollums:

Terminating decimal numbers are the decimals which has a finite number of decimal places. In other words, these numbers end after a fixed number of digits after the decimal point. For example, 0.87, 82.25, 9.527, 224.9803, etc. kinda like ending short yk

ewupsheesh:

Im a Her*

ewupsheesh:

And I get it now

dukedadon:

my apologies.

ewupsheesh:

It is ok

ewupsheesh:

Wait one more question

dukedadon:

?

ewupsheesh:

Can you divide by zero I dont think you can but I just want to make sure

Joe348:

yes you can

Joe348:

you could say 4/0 =?

Joe348:

but anything divided by 0 is 0

Joe348:

also known as undefined

ewupsheesh:

Wait why can I divide by zero?
