Repeating Decimals

Repeating or Recurring Decimals

deutsch: periodische dezimal zahlen

My Favorite Notation

1/3 = 3/9 = 0.~3

7/12 = 525/900 = 0.58~3

1/7 = 142857/999999 = 0.~142857

3227/555 = 5.8~144

Numbers

irrationals, infinite or never ending

Any number that cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers is said to be irrational. Their decimal representation neither terminates nor infinitely repeats but extends forever without regular repetition.

Examples of such irrational numbers are π, e and the square roots of 2 and many other numbers.

Make Psalm 87 front page real not fantasy! Higher Jerusalem or Deeper Hades! Nie wieder allein herr schaft eines einzigen staates oder stammes, nie wieder nur eine einzige partei, religion oder sippe! Weniger Christen Union, weniger Welt Kirche und weniger Judaismus sind mehr wert! Nie wieder mit 15 verbrechen gegen mensch heit und mensch lich keit am hals unter gehen oder sterben! A Gog supreme false prophet insults and denies my official religion "Ohne Angaben, gemeinschaftslos, keiner Religionsgemeinschaft angehörig"! and most religions and parties do not care! We will see.
