Proof.--A decimal may be written in the form of a common fraction; thus, 375. equals ftfij, which reduced to its lowest terms equals J. (J.) Notes.--1. When the denominator, or divisor, contains other prime factors than 2 or 6, the division must continue indefinitely, and some figure or figures will be continually repeated to form the quotient. 2. A decimal which is expressed by a continual repetition of a certain figure or figures is called a circulating decimal, or repetend. 3. A repetend is distinguished by a dot over the first and the last of the repeating figures; thus, .423 shows that the 3 is a repeteud;.46371 shows that 371 is a repetend. The repetend taken with the rest of the decimal is called a mixed repetend. 4. To change a repetend to an equivalent common fraction, write the repetend for the numerator, and as many nines for the denominator as the.. 135 5 41 repetend has figures; thus, 135==:: g; the mixed repetend.416= x 9_375_ 6 990012, LESSON XVIII. 238.
