Question

What are recurring fractions ?

Answer 1

A recurring decimal is a number which keeps repeating forever after the decimal point. The first recurring decimal most people meet is 13=0.33..13=0.33... In most books a recurring decimal is represented by placing a dot above the number or numbers that repeat.

All recurring decimals can be represented as fractions. To find this fraction we need to generate two equations which have the same repeating part and subtracting one from the other to eliminate it.
