A terminating decimal number is a number in decimal form with a finite number of digits. Terminating numbers can be written as fractions, which means that they are rational numbers.
| Terminating Decimal Numbers | ||
|---|---|---|
| Number | Fraction | |
| 0.5 | 1/2 | |
| 1.53 | 153/100 | |
| 52.372 | 13 093/250 | |
Additionally, if a decimal number has an infinite number of non-repeating decimal digits, it cannot be written as a fraction. Those numbers are considered irrational numbers.
