2. Fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction

   Compound fractions, complex fractions, mixed numerals, and decimals (see below) are not common fractions; though, unless irrational, they can be evaluated to a common fraction. A unit fraction is a common fraction with a numerator of 1 (e.g., ⁠ 1 / 7 ⁠ ).

3. Continued fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continued_fraction

   Continued fractions can also be applied to problems in number theory, and are especially useful in the study of Diophantine equations. In the late eighteenth century Lagrange used continued fractions to construct the general solution of Pell's equation, thus answering a question that had fascinated mathematicians for more than a thousand years.

   In case 2, the rate of convergence depends on the absolute value of the ratio between the two roots: the farther that ratio is from unity, the more quickly the continued fraction converges. This general solution of monic quadratic equations with complex coefficients is usually not very useful for obtaining rational approximations to the roots ...

   The repeating decimal commonly written as 0.999... represents exactly the same quantity as the number one. Despite having the appearance of representing a smaller number, 0.999... is a symbol for the number 1 in exactly the same way that 0.333... is an equivalent notation for the number represented by the fraction 1 ⁄ 3.

8. Repeating decimal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeating_decimal

   Conversely the period of the repeating decimal of a fraction ⁠ c / d ⁠ will be (at most) the smallest number n such that 10 n − 1 is divisible by d. For example, the fraction ⁠ 2 / 7 ⁠ has d = 7, and the smallest k that makes 10 k − 1 divisible by 7 is k = 6, because 999999 = 7 × 142857. The period of the fraction ⁠ 2 / 7 ⁠ is ...
