Hey there, Babayyx! I think you mean a recurring decimal. Here is the definition:Recurring Decimal. A decimal number that has digits that repeat forever. The part that repeats is usually shown by placing dots over the first and last digits of the repeating pattern, or sometimes a line over the pattern.Your example would be: 0.333... and so on, going forever. Never ending. Like the definition states, instead of writing 0.333333333333333 and so on, just write 0.333 and draw a line above it. I hope I helped!! :D

Step-by-step explanation: A repeating decimal is a non-terminating or non ending decimal in which one or more of the digits repeat.

0.87777777... would be an example of a repeating decimal because the 7 repeats.

To indicate that this is a repeating decimal, we draw a bar over the first number or group of numbers that repeat that indicates it goes on forever.
