Question 1000597
as best i can determine, the repetend is the part of the faction that repeats endlessly and the period is the length of the repetend.


it was not easy to find a simple definition on the web, but i think i succeeded after several efforts where they talked a lot about what the repetend was but not very much about what the period was.


assuming my search was successful, you get the following:


a. 0.9999


the repetend is 9 and the period is 1.


b.  0.567323232


the repetend is 32 and the period is 2.


c.  0.1827482748274


the repetend is 8274 and the period is 4.


i believe you would write them as follows using the bar notation.


<pre>

             _
a. 0.9999 = .9

                      __
b.  0.567323232 = .56732

                        ____
c.  0.1827482748274 - .18274
