Answer:

1/3 is an example of such numbers

Explanation:

Mostly all fraction that consists of integer numerator and denominator converts to decimals that will either terminates or repeats.

Now based on the problem statement the numerator is a whole number that is greater than 0

A good example that fits into this is 1/3= 0.333333333......

Hence the Numerator is 1 and the denominator is 3
