WHAT DOES REPETEND MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Repeating decimal

A repeating or recurring decimal is a way of representing rational numbers in arithmetic. The decimal representation of a number is said to be repeating if it becomes periodic and the infinitely-repeated portion is not zero. For example, the decimal representation of ⅓ becomes periodic just after the decimal point, repeating the single-digit sequence "3" forever, i.e. 0.333…. A more complicated example is 3227/555, whose decimal becomes periodic after the second digit following the decimal point and then repeats the sequence "144" forever, i.e. 5.8144144144…. At present, there is no single universally accepted notation or phrasing for repeating decimals. The infinitely-repeated digit sequence is called the repetend or reptend. If the repetend is a zero, the rational number is called a terminating decimal, since the zeros can be omitted and the decimal terminates before these zeros. All terminating decimals can be written as a decimal fraction whose divisor is a power of 10; they may also be written as a ratio of the form k/2n5m.
