A repeating decimal (or recurring decimal) is a decimal where one or more digits repeat infinitely. For example, 1/3 = 0.333... where 3 repeats forever.

How do I know if a fraction will be terminating or repeating?

A fraction in lowest terms produces a terminating decimal if its denominator has only factors of 2 and/or 5. Otherwise, it will be a repeating decimal.
