terminating decimals are numbers that end, and repeating numbers are decimals that don't, like pi. Terminating: 0.5 Repeating: 0.66666666 . . . or in other words 2/3. get it? hope so.

Isn't this what your math class is for?


...anyway...


I assume you mean decimals?

If so, a repeating decimal is one that repeats the same number of number pattern over and over, for infinity... like 1/3 is 0.3333333333333-forever. That is a repeating decimal.

A number such as 1/2 = 0.5 is terminal, in that it ends - thus, it terminates. There is no repeating decimal place, like 0.27272727272727272727etc...

make sense?
