Any number that can be written as a fraction can be written as a terminating or recurring decimal.

 

$${\frac{{\mathtt{3}}}{{\mathtt{7}}}} = {\mathtt{0.428\: \!571\: \!428\: \!571\: \!428\: \!6}}$$

 

Depending on what country you are in this can be written in differerent ways.

But anyway the 428571 will keep repeating for ever.

 

$$\\0.\overline 4 \overline 2\overline 8\overline 5\overline 7\overline 1\\
or\\
0.\dot4 2857\dot 1$$
