Open in App
Solution

A non-terminating, non-repeating decimal is a decimal number that continues endlessly, with no group of digits repeating endlessly. Decimals of this type cannot be represented as fractions, and as a result are irrational numbers.


Examples

Pi is a non-terminating, non-repeating decimal. π = 3.141 592 653 589 793 238 462 643 383 279 ...

e is a non-terminating, non-repeating decimal. e = 2.718 281 828 459 045 235 360 287 471 352 ...


A terminating decimal is a decimal that ends. It's a decimal with a finite number of digits.
eg; 7 over 8 equals 0.875, 3 over 8 equals 0.375
