Answer 2

It’s repetition

To find out whether a fraction will have a terminating or recurring decimal, look at the prime factors of the denominator when the fraction is in its most simple form. If they are made up of 2s and/or 5s, the decimal will terminate.

This one in specification is termination for 1 divided by 7 is 0.14285714285714, it keeps on repeating.
