What is another word for repeating decimal?
Pronunciation: [ɹɪpˈiːtɪŋ dˈɛsɪmə͡l] (IPA) 
A repeating decimal is a number that has a repeating pattern of digits after the decimal point. It is often expressed using the symbol "..." to indicate that the pattern continues infinitely. However, there are other terms that can be used to describe this type of number. These include periodic decimal, recurring decimal, and cyclic decimal. The term periodic decimal highlights the fact that the pattern repeats at regular intervals, while the term recurring decimal emphasizes the idea of recurrence or repetition. On the other hand, cyclic decimal refers to the fact that the pattern of digits cycles or repeats itself in a loop. Ultimately, all of these terms refer to the same concept of a number with a repeating pattern of digits after the decimal point.
