Another example of a repeating decimal does not necessarly have to have all numbers repeating.

 

Here are some examples:

 

\(0.1234444444444444444444444...\) (123 does not repeat but the 4 does repeat forever).  If you convert this repeating decimal to a fraction, you will get \(\frac{1111}{9000}\).

 

\(0.12345454545454545...\)(123 does not repeat but the 45 does repeat forever).  If you convert this repeating decimal to a fraction, you will get \(\frac{679}{5500}\).

A repeating decimal is a decimal that repeats a number or set of numbers over and over and over.

 

Ex. 0.33333333333333333333333333333333333333333333......... or 1/3

 

Another example: 0.465465465465465465465.......

 

 

However, π is NOT a repeating decimal. It never ends and never repeats a single decimal point.

a repeating decimal is when the one or more numbers repeat. For example, 0.33333333333333333333333333333 is a repeating decimal.
