Either using a calculator or long division, we can show that 4/3 = 1.333333...

Because this string of 3's goes on infinitely, 4/3 is indeed a repeating decimal.

Yes, the decimal form of
(4)/(3)is indeed a repeating decimal. The expression is equivalent to
1 (1)/(3), which is also 1.3333333 or "1.3 bar", signifying that the 3 will repeat infinitely.
