You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A terminating decimal is one that comes out even when you divide it out. For example, \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F2=.5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F4=+.25\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "However, more often than not, when you divide it out, it does NOT come out even:
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F3=.33333+.+.+.\" (This repeats the 3, and it NEVER comes out even!)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "R^2 at SCC
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
