A repeating decimal or recurring decimal is a decimal representation of a number whose digits are eventually periodic (that is, after some place, the same sequence of digits is repeated forever); if this sequence consists only of zeros (that is if there is only a finite number of nonzero digits), the decimal is said to be terminating, and is not considered as repeating.
Also the converse is true: The decimal expansion of a rational number is either finite, or endlessly repeating. Finite decimal representations can also be seen as a special case of infinite repeating decimal representations. For example, 36 ⁄ 25 = 1.44 = 1.4400000...; the endlessly repeated sequence is the one-digit sequence "0".
First, every nonzero number with a finite decimal notation (equivalently, endless trailing 0s) has a counterpart with trailing 9s. For example, 0.24999... equals 0.25, exactly as in the special case considered. These numbers are exactly the decimal fractions, and they are dense. [41] [9] Second, a comparable theorem applies in each radix or base.
The extended Midy's theorem [2] states that if the repeating portion of the decimal expansion of a/p is divided into k-digit numbers, then their sum is a multiple of 10 k − 1. For example, 1 19 = 0. 052631578947368421 ¯ {\displaystyle {\frac {1}{19}}=0.{\overline {052631578947368421}}}

Let x = the repeating decimal: x = 0.1523 987; Multiply both sides by the power of 10 just great enough (in this case 10 4) to move the decimal point just before the repeating part of the decimal number: 10,000x = 1,523. 987; Multiply both sides by the power of 10 (in this case 10 3) that is the same as the number of places that repeat:
